[QUOTE="Diplexers, post: 346373, member: 550866"] I am the one who said they blow too easy. Don't get me wrong, I love JL and still recommend them to people. And what I said was in reference to other subs on the market. Even JL knows they blow too easy when they came out with the "vented rib coil" which they said was to help cool the sub, and there has been some debate weather it actually worked. With the "VRC" the air could get in and cool but a lot of people had a problem with where the air could escape. Now JL said that the air dissappated through the spider, if thats true so be it but there are a lot of people that don't buy it. Now, as for me blowing JL's, you're right. When I blew my first JL I was a rookie. I was running three 12W6's in a ported box being powered by a PPI A1200. What my mistake was, not turning the gain too high, cause it was actually set at less than half power; when I installed my x-over(FRX-456) I didn't read the directions and set the frequencies WAAAY too low which launched one of my subs. As for the other ones it goes back to the VRC issue, when they were being played with RMS power as an everyday driver they just couldn't stand up. Let me leave with this; if they were tougher I would definitly still run them, I love their sq. It makes me almost sad that I had to convert. [/QUOTE]
