Type-r's keep blowing!

I used to play bass testers as loud as I could, especially things with like 20Hz on them like bass I love you, so i'm sure thats what contributed.. Now when I look at the new enclosure, the old sub is moving out of synch with the new one, and still slapping.. time for a new R i guess.. My multimeter is a POS, so i'm gonna go get a nice digital one and set the gains correctly. Btw, what does SSF stand for, haven't heard it before?

Subsonic filter...fancy name for a HPF designed to keep the driver from reaching its mechanical limits from material below tuning. But a "bandpass" enclosure, true to its name, attenuates both the upper and lower limits of its passband.

Well I definately blew one, it put the a massive circular crack in the center of the cone with cracks spidering out from it, looking like a chipped windshield on my sub..
.

id guess thats from smacking the cone on the voice coil a few good times. i THINK, no promises.

my guess is just a clipped signal, i tried to blow the type r i had, had gains all the way up bass boost and it didnt blow lol. weird

With all factors involved it was bound to happen sometime.

Everyone I've seen 500-1500watts with their bass on the HU set to neg 3(with almost no difference if u turned it up) and was still pounding unbelievabley hard has some serious gain problems and most of them didnt want to listen, or even let me help them. Many of these people have also went through several sets of subs... hmmmm?
