i qouold bet the e is holding it. at one time i had 4 type e's with an mtx t81000d(1500rms) powering each pair. so i was dropping 750 a piece into them and they would hold for awhile. but i'll tell ya after awhile they would die a horrible death. i would throw them so for that the voicecoil would be extended past the spider and the surround would be peeling off the cone. i'll have to look i know i have pic's somewhere

If the coil is completely burned or separated then it'll lock up. If the coil isn't burnt...chances are...the coil hit the back plate and perhaps bent and locked up. there are lots of possibilities. Open it up and shoot the coil with the wall socket.

What do you think i should do for tomorrow vid? Hook it up to a outlet, then sledge hammer it then set it on fire? Or am I wasting my time with the ooutlet?

Blow them up with dynamite.

Macgyver can make some c4............?

invite him over and give him a stick of gum and a paper clip and he can make those things explode so bad they will just dissapear..... either that or u can have chuck norris spinkick it.... both will have the same outcome

Im gonna reduce this thing to a pile of ashes when im done.

I'm leaning towards the chuck norris thing. Just have him stare at the subs and they will catch on fire and blow up.

Just remember... don't look into Chuck's eyes or you could blow up also.
