Well kids, the inevitable finally happened

I finally, after over a year of beating the piss out of it, clipping it, bottoming it out, feeding it 4x it's rated power, and blasting test tones....

I finally killed my original type-r 10". I was doing some testing today, and I decided to screw around and try USACi streetbeat again. Well, it was loud as piss, it did a 149.5 average over 30 seconds, and at the end of the run the amp went into protect.

Usually when the amp does that, it is because of low voltage, but since I had the car on, I knew it wasn't that. So I peeked inside the cabin to see smoke pouring out of the ports. Hit the cone....locked up solid. So after all the abuse, all the full tilt streetbeat and driveby runs, I finally destroyed this sub.

R.I.P. Type-r 10" 8/6/05-2/13/07

With the box the way it is currently, I can fit very comfortably. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
