I have blown the coils with Bass CD's but only when the amp
was clipped...with clean power they take 2x easily

still on of the best SQ subs I have ever heard...there really isn't
a better SQ sub out there

Not me blowing them, customers. Once guy in particular smoked 3 sets so we sold him a pair of Alpine Type-X's and he hasn't been back with anything in 6 months.

1200Wrms of potential amplifier power vs loose nut between seat and steering wheel can blow a pair of GTi's.

I do very much agree about their SQ when in the right enclosure, great subs, Just not as abuse friendly as most people imagine them to be.
