Voice coil died //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imo.gif.3a57bcc70a4835dc53e86ffae1a0b041.gif

Prolly was scraping and generated too much heat and blew the engine.

Contact DJL and tell him.

He might replace it. I mean, it doesn't sound like your fault. But, there's always that possibility...

I think a mouse chewed through your voice coil.

hmm. it takes quite a bit of power to overheat the voice coil. is it the aluminum or copper coil? If you were clipping it then the extra power from clipping may have killed it. Also the sub may have been defective u never know.

if its squeaking then that means its also acting as a tweeter. make sure you have your amp set to low pass filter. but if not then you got more than you paid for because its a sub and a tweeter all in one!!!!

lmao!
