[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8660845, member: 675210"] My guess... In the sealed enclosure, cone movement was less due to being in a sealed enclosure. The gain was set on the amp while the music was playing, Punch EQ was up... which boost up to 12db @ 45hz, Bass is up on the head unit, playing bass heavy music at high volumes... the sealed box saved the sub by limiting cone movement. The sub was moved to a ported enclosure tuned to "40hz". Here is what I think happened. Nothing was changed on the amp or head unit and the sub was put in the ported box. Music was turned on and turned up. Notes in the 35 to 50hz range were playing and the Punch EQ @ 45hz combined with the 40hz tune of the port was spiking frequencies in the 40's 10-14db higher than the rest of the music slamming the VC former over and over and over until it started having Kapton babies in the gap.
