My 2 15" hdc3 alum are blown after 3 hours of use!

If you see this DJ, please get ahold of me. I sent you an email, and my # is in there. I had my crossfire vr4000d with about 1/3 gain settings and voltage was good. Subs were wired to 2 ohm, and all of a sudden they quite working. We stopped, and we pushed on one of the subs and it scratched bad. If you knocked on both subs on the cone there was a tinging sound made. I think the sound is in the motor. WTF I don't get it. I bought the subs bnib from nineballsafety I think it was (The guy with the elephant box). What can I do, or can warranty help me out here. I was only giving them around 1000ish a piece....and they are alum...wow I'm going to cry:crying:

did they seem like they were shipped safely. nothing got knocked around while being deliverd?

 

[da box king 10+ year member]

Wired to 2 ohms, to the crossfire, and the box was 8.5 ish cubes tuned to 38 hz, just how they like it. Amp was tuned right, and set to the same frequency....

both blown? probably user misuse.

yeah both stopped, one scatches bad, and the other has a rattle. Worked great for the first 3 hours...now how was that misuse. Worked great at first...I was in love with them, but now I'm ready to cry.

But really I don't get it...the motors have a rattle like a winding of some sort is loose

One letting loose I can see, both going seems like possible user error

very odd to have both subs stop working at the same time.

You had to have done something for both of them to have went in 3 hours. Deffintley user error here. Sorry though.

I hope I get this figured out...they both just quite working. Didn't seize up just stopped moving. I knocked on the one that was scratching and it worked for about a 1/2 second, and now neither work...
