Lookie what i got :)

Also, and I'm just curious so don't think I'm trying to harass you or anything...

If you are so intent on utterly blasting your subs day to day, why not go with some subs you know can handle 5000, 10000, or however many watts. Did you consider DD 9518s, 9918s, or Cactus 18s, or TC5200s, or RE MTs, or whatever other uber woofer is out there?

 
the TC's can handle that much?
they will take it, yes.. i dont know that i would do it though... especially not to gmonk... he cant even keep the btl's going //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif i wouldnt imagine he would have much luck with a sub that is a bit more fragile.. btw- gmonk- wahts the plan now? gonna start over?

 
My lights barely dimmed at full tilt. Im guessing around 16,000-17,000rms when I first started playing it.

The 20,000rms is going to be what Im seeing when all my mids/highs amps are in.

The amps running at lower ohm loads makes more current. The wattage isnt good for them, but its doable. With that current and wattage together, thats when you see problems.

Im just going to recone my subs and rewire the amps. If it happens again, Im going to swap to T3 TSNS subs.

 
I just puked a little when I saw that BTL in pieces. You had it installed for what.. 5 days?

Thanks for the offer, but the main problem is the subs are completely screwed beyone belief.
When you're running 5,000rms to a speaker @ .35ohm, **** is going to go wrong.

For daily beating, thats just too much power. Not just bad luck, just a dumb move on my part running that much power at that ohm load. Id be pretty confident in them taking 4,000rms daily @ 1 ohm or above in a box with a little less port. When I get my stuff, I wanna listen to it. Whether its Type Rs, Treos, Xplods, or BTLs, im going to crank it. No point in having something that I cant listen to for more than 15 seconds.

One thing I will say is dont run 5,000rms to a BTL daily. I dont know how the hell Meade or anyone else does it, but it doesnt seem to work to well. I mean they really took the abuse I put em through... Especially for 2.5x their RMS @ .35ohm in a big ported box. We dropped the 2 top subs today and on one, the tinsels are broken, and in both the cone is seperated from the spider. The coils are a little dark, but definately still playable. The speakers are cut up and waiting for recones. Gotta order em either today or tomorrow. I wont be making the show during the weekend, but whatever. Im just runnin the 2 bottom subs for now. Goin easy on em. They're loud enough for a daily beater until I get it all workin. I mean with 2 subs I can still do hair tricks with both windows all the way down... Anyways, Ill take a pic of the tinsels and cone seperated and show you guys later.
You don't know what the fuck you're doing is the problem.

I'm really not surprised. At all.

I don't understand, how you kids do these things.

Seriously.

n00bxs.

Well I sure didnt play em too hard. They were never cranked for more than ~30 seconds at a time.

And nG, doesnt a thread somewhere need some more FYI smileys after common knowledge statements?

They do. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I love it when people get angry because I'm right.

That's the best, because if I wasn't right... you wouldn't be so hostile.
