Went into ditch going at least 50....

[Whookid 10+ year member]

I was on a country road and I didnt notice there was a stop sign along with a turn right after the stop sign untill it was to late. When I realized I was going to drive off right into a corn field I still tried following the road going at least 50. I started fishtailing and ended up sliding into the ditch sideways. It happened so fast I really dont know what I did untill I was already back on the road. I got out and checked my car everything was fine luckily....I have 20's with low pro's and there was nothing wrong with them. So when I got to where I was going one of buddies asked to hear my system so I turn the bass remote up and there was no sound. So I opened the trunk and this is what I found.

The sub is a DD 9512e. I know the pics are crappy, but I didnt have a digital camera at the time.

And this Is what I found after I took it out of the box

I called DD today and they said it would cost $130+Shipping to get it repaired and have the new parts they use for the "F" series.

Im lucky thats all that happened.

Did the box slide and hit something causing the basket to crack?

Similar thing happened to my cousin in his truck, was watching some deer or something (thats what he said, i'm guessing he was drunk...) and he came up to a T intersection so he needed to turn but instead drove straight off and flew most the way over the ditch, where the ditch sloped back up his front end caught and bent it up, he flew into the wheel, got knocked out and bit through his lower lip. Totalled his brand new truck (some kinda chevy...)...

Why would you not have your enclosure secured to the trunk floor?...

I didnt have the box bolted down to anything...So I think thats the only thing that could have happened to it...

...Which was my question. Why would you have it just sitting there?

This thread should have been titled "When Lazy People Happen To Nice Subs."

Sucks about the DD - guess it sure could have been worse, though.

I dont use bolts, but I always have an L bracket or two with a couple screws holding the box in place. I wouldnt want the box to slide freely around...
