[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 5351019, member: 549523"] Over the long term it is a benefit - in my testing if you play a sub for 1+ hour at high power it will get quite warm up to the rim of the basket. The cast aluminum frame is a pretty good heat-sink. I've had frames too hot to touch after 2+ hour power testing. On the SA-12 the frame will eventually soak up heat through the basket screws and just by proximity to the hot coil - but the heat transfer is not as efficient due to the plastic ring. But the ring was necessary to help prevent potential physical damage to the driver. [/QUOTE]
