[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 7287006, member: 576010"] Here is a pic I took a long time ago of two subs I got from a guy for recone... on the left is the softparts out of a Kicker CompVR and on the right an Alpine TypeR... These subs were powered by the same amp in the same install... The coils had an almost identical ID, but you can plainly see the alpine had a longer winding height.. What you can't easily see is that the alpine also used a slightly thicker gauge of wire... I recall the owner had stated that he ran the alpine for six months or more before it died... As you can tell from the pic the coil was blackened yet held together, but eventually shorted open... After the alpine blew he put in the kicker which he was very dissapointed with as it died within a week...
