The design flaw is the square cone/surround itself. It presents an uneven distribution of force on the parts. The fact of the matter is, I would not design a subwoofer with a square cone for this reason. The cones/surrounds may be resistant enough to withstand unequal forces, however that does not make it an optimal design in my opinion. It is clear that at some point Kicker had a problem, which ended up being resolved by reinforcing the cone, however in my opinion it is more of a band-aid. I also think that kicker could make hexagonal, octagonal, and triangular subs as well, and they would sell because of the name "Kicker" is attached to it. As long as you are happy with the durability of your subs, that is the main thing, I just dislike the design for reasons stated above.</p></blockquote><p></p>
