Ok... first, what model of DD sub is it?

Second, who told you it can take 6000RMS? If you check the DD site even the 99 series has a rating of 1500RMS.

Third... what's your box like? Is it ported? If so, were you playing below tuning frequency?

Take the sub back to the shop if it really is blown. The fact that they no longer carry the line doesn't mean they shouldn't honour the warranty.

if he says it sounds like its 'spinning' my only guess is that part of the coil came unwound and he can hear the windings moving around inside the sub as it plays....

send it back to DD... they can recone it...


and wtf is up with the shop you bought it from ? sounds pretty sketchy to me..

Yo Shaun, Seriously in my mind, I think its Just cause the box size..To me it doesn't look like the proper amount of airspace. But in the Defence, I know that this sub was HARDLY pushed at all!!! FFS didn't even blow out his window :P..lol

The box is exactly 4.0 cubic feet including the sub depth which is recommened from DD for that sub its the 3515, and the sound coming out of it is strange it still plays loud and bassy but it has a static kind of sound coming out of it, almost scratchy like
