duno about that, since he was feeding it more than it's rated RMS was, and he was doing it daily. Plus other people have been giving it 4kw + like he stated. And I think he did the install himself so he doesnt have a authorized shop to back him up.

I didnt do the install myself... http://www.vincesaudio.com there not authorized by Innovative Rides (authorized) would back them up.

why would it be impossible? Just knife the surround and pull for God's sake

my sub is inverted dude....

chit happens sometimes, if you had friends or family in the ride and you were on a freeway things could have been a lot worse? people could have died, be grateful for small blessings. i have carried a fire extinguisher in my ride for the last 15 years. beg your insurance company to help you out.

I was caught up in the moment...I mean i'm joking about it a little now...I was never overly upset or anything, just a little uneased that a sub could do this...I already expect when I call Re audio that they won't be understanding...regardless something will be done no matter if this is settled in court or out of court(atleast a refund on the sub, it was warranted and purchased authorized)...you can always blame something when things happen...you get in a wreck but it wasnt your fault...but of course someone always has to say something like if you were driving more cautious this would have been prevented. So where im try to get at is, could this have been prevented...easily? No....all odds were against me in this situation, 1. My sub was inverted and was impossible to remove in time. 2. I didnt have a fire extinguisher 3. I was driving back home in the middle of nowhere 4. The fire was building. 5. My phone had no signal. So im not sure what to do, I want to talk to someone who knows more about legal procedures just to see what I could/should do. I think Re audio has lost all credibility it had here, which wasnt much, but I was telling everyone about the company letting them hear my sub...impressing people because it really did sound awesome. But now people are second gueesing even getting a system, I dont see no reason for that, but this doesnt happen very often. Well my hands are getting tired and I got class so im off.

wow that's horrible. what road was it on? i'm surpised that shit wasn't on the news man. and definatly should of had an extinguisher. but as mentioned, count your blessings.... .... it could have been alot worse. gl on getting everything sorted out

What I dont understand is how throwing water on it didnt put it out. Bad aim maybe?

Either way, a good lawyer could make RE look liable...considering it isnt every day sub's spiders just burst into flames under normal use.

I would have been kicking the shi-t out of the magnet. Something would have broken loose enough to get the thing out of the box.

youd have to be kicking pretty hard and at a wierd angle to break a metal basket mounted in a box , bolted to the truck...
