Shredding a Speaker

So... we shredded one of my MT 18s last night.

We played the truck almost all night doing demos for people and finally one gave out!

The other three are fine -- I've been beating these since August with a 3000D @ 1/2 ohm each.

What it looks like is the dust cap gave up first and popped off... and that weakened the cone so it shredded. Then the triple joint failed and the coil shot back and was sitting against the back plate in the gap. I was able to pull it out so it can be re-built!

Indeed, I'll be re-building that MT for now until I re-do the wall.

Truck needs work before stereo changes... need a tire (one tire is wearing weird), an alignment, and a rear main seal.

We were demoing all night at the same HU volume level that I do SPL burps at -- so we were being a bit hard on them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yep, it is in pretty well pristine shape besides the scuffs from being shot back into the gap with no suspension attached. It was still hot when I pulled it out about 30-40 minutes after the incident but looks relatively un-harmed thermally //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
