something was wrong there...

1/4 of the way up or less, that is ridiculous

i really dont see how you can without turning it down it and letting it cool every 20 seconds...

For the 10's and 12's maybe, but the 15's can take a LOT more abuse. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

how?

when i use em i use em for a good 1-2 hours a day, sometimes more, like 2-3 hours at a time depending if its a long trip. i just always had to turn em down to let em cool.

No sub is going to take possibly double its rated power for 2 hours straight. Especially when its a $200 sub. I don't get how having the gain nearly all the way down would do that to ANY sub, let alone one that is as strong as a type-r 15" (for the money). You cooked your coil slowly over time, thus making me think that you were clipping it. I completely destroyed the coil on my 10" because i was feeding it 2kw for a streetbeat run, smashed the former and weakened the glue on the coil. But the winding material itself was still in very good shape just like how it was when I first bought it.

I don't know what exactly you did to toast a coil like that and not have the former deform or the windings fall off, but I don't think the sub is really to blame.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, people expect way too much from a type-r.

well i heard so much hype about people running them and mark potts assured me that his 15" R "takes a 2500D no problem all day long" so i figued it would be pretty resiliant.

i beat the hell out of my stuff... i want to at least be able to listen to a full song at high volume...

but thats when i bought cheap stuff, and i learned my lesson //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm glad you learned your lesson and stopped listening to potts. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well you should have been, with 3 of his boxes and that much cone area.

it was all installed correctly and my voltage was definately staying up (lights didnt even flicker at full volume) and i can tell you it sure as hell wasnt anywhere near a 150.

Tht is very surprising tht u nevr did pull a 150....there were a few others i know of tht did do a 150 w/ their Type-R nd TCAB combo...

 

[Lil_KB 10+ year member]

well, he could barely pull a 150 with 6 15s, so it doesnt really surprise me that much...

with those crappy amps i was surprised i could do a 150.
