[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3340120, member: 561023"] Okay. I've run that sub for three years+ without a grill of any kind with no issues. It's a rare thing that there is anyone in my car but me so before recently it has never been a problem. As I understand it from accounts given me by several witnesses who saw this incident take place the fault lies entirely with the kid that caused the damage. With no warning and nothing to indicate this was what was on his mind he simply walked up behind my car while stuff was being loaded into it, sauntered up to my sub enclosure, and proceeded to push in on the dustcap. Up to this point nobody but the kid himself has a clue why ~ though I am led to believe that behavior such as this is chronic with him. I have been related several different tales of a swath of damage and mayhem this youngun' leaves in his wake and the mom is accustomed to having to repair or replace things he destroys as a matter of normal course. The other moms in his little circle of buddies will not allow him at their house anymore and that would be why most group functions are held at his house since nobody will let him come to theirs any longer. I haven't swapped them out yet. I have in mind a different enclosure for the TDX so getting to listen to it will have to wait for the now. I'm sure it will, scooby, but thanks for your thoughts. Apparently this is a habitual happening for this particular youngster and this time it happened to be an adult's toy he messed with rather than something belonging to one of his peers. I disagree. While true it isn't anything that affects overall performance of the driver it is still in a lesser state than it was before encountering this young man so, right or wrong, to my mind there should be some sort of reckoning. She was asked directly if she would like the sub damaged by her son since she was replacing it with another and that offer was refused ~ twice. I was told in no uncertain terms that she has less than no use for any sort of aftermarket mobile audio gear so the disposition of the damaged M6mkII was completely up to my discretion. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif[/IMG] (a) You've not seen fit to do business with me previously so I cannot say that I'll be missing anything should that be a course you decide to continue upon. (b) As far as ripping me off is concerned however, good luck with that, fella. Nowhere in the opening post does it say or even particularly imply that I feel as if I did her some sort of favor by offering two different choices as to how to recify the situation to my satisfaction. If I truly wanted to "rip her off" I would have collected the cost of buying a BNIB [B]retail[/B] D612D4 here locally (at a cost of $358.38 after tax), [I]still[/I] bought the TDX from excelerater, and pocketed the rest. So if one person did the damage it would be appropriate to have them repair/replace it but if it happens to be the fault of some young kid whose mom has to pick up the tab it's all wrong somehow? That's a rather nonsensical line of reasoning to say the least. By the same token let's say for example the kid had slammed into the side of my car while riding his bicycle and screwed one of the fenders all up. Now - this isn't to say that it rendered the car undriveable in the least...purely cosmetic damage and possibly minor cosmetic damage at that. Would we be having this same discussion or if I worked out a way for her to save some money and me get my car fixed all at the same time would it all be hunky-dory, eh??? See above.
