[QUOTE="Fi Car Audio, post: 2017526, member: 569083"] UV in car audio is a killer to those that are trying to make their stuff last for the next 30 years. Ive seen plenty of bleached out cones and surrounds... rubber helps, but it depends on what rubber... natural isnt as good as most of the man made versions. Some foams use UV inhibitors now as well. 115 in the full sun is 160+ in the car. Makes things mad *** well. But for most people, how long their subs last really come down to two things. 1. How long the sub lasts due to the flavor of the week on the forums or friends. 2. How much abuse you give the 300W RMS sub with the clipped 1200W amp on the factory 6 year old battery and 30 amp alternator... coupled with the Home Depot lampcord wiring the speakers, rcas, and power all together.
