question about sub warranty

[kr15 5,000+ posts]

So i have a warranty thru the audio shop and Treo on my 15. I am wondering if a warranty like this typically only covers product failure, or user error also? The reason being is that my sub made a funny sound when I was driving yesterday, so I stopped to check it out. The box had slid back to the trunk hatch and must have flexed into some part of the lock mechanism or some other metal as the surround on my sub was punctured. It was pretty small, about 1/2 an inch long and very narrow. I assume it was the trunk latch as the puncture was at about that level.

My question is, will the warranty cover this? Or will they say its "user error"?

thanks

only if its a sub defect, not user error, burnt spiders, coils etc are not covered.

thats what I thought. so what would be a good compound to seal the slit?

AH ok, well nvm then. I was going to say that if they didn't secure it(the shop) when they installed it, then you have a case to make. Since you swapped the box out yourself, you have no one to blame but yourself for not securing it to the vehicle. Sorry dude, live and learn.

blown woofers are covered by warranty at a nearby CHicago shop.
