there were only two of these particular subs in existense that i know of (it was a TC9 based LMS using a 10" LA storm basket

i had been giving it lots of power, but i still dont think the cone should have folded, lol

coil and all other parts are fine btw

now im gonna recone it into a real special driver

I'm going to go with them not being in business anymore as the main reason they don't use aluminum.

lol about 2800 watts, ive been waiting for it too go so i would have a reason to recone it

but i figured the coil or something in the softparts would go before the cone

Too bad it folded up on you, especially without the satisfaction of burning up the coil or something else cool.

How did it happen, were you just listening, heard a weird noise and see that? Definitely interested in hearing how it happened and how you noticed it.

When i had my 3ks the aluminum cone seemed to take power better than the titanium cone did. It didnt get has hot as the other an seemed thicker. As stated how much power?

Titanium is much much stronger, you do not need it to be as thick to have more strength than aluminum.

no, the coil is still good and these arent that easy to come by (nor are they cheap) so ill salvage the coil

i was just listening to music and started to hear a scratching noise, figured it was the coil but was suprised to find the cone cracked when i opened the trunk

and TC3k101, ill get more pics when i pull the sub out of the box

That hasn't happened to TC cones in quite a while. perhaps it was just a survivor from that crappy batch.

And I'm pretty sure the cones on Audiopulse stuff are still aluminum, just an anodized aluminum alloy
