Yup, nothing like watching a Kicker L7 smoke itself to death and catch on fire.

 

lmao, I thought thats how people broke a L7 in .... plug into wall for 20 minutes... lol

 

haha, how would you go about plugging it into the wall socket?

just curious

 

it's how you break in DD's.....L7's don't seem to cool that much at 60hz. My old boss's Cerwin Vega Stroker is still going aftr 10 years of wall-socket demos

 

Depends..it's alot easier with a wall socket that's on a lighswitch. Otherwise just use a power bar with a switch so you can turn it off. AND not have to work with a live wire.

 

lol, wrote too late. Do as Sikk said, it's interesting to say the least...

 

Ah, the good ol' speaker rolling. Funny thing was when I was getting my Inhuman 15" voicecoil changed from Copper to Aluminum (Less Power handling but more efficient) the dbDon who built the sub tried to roll it. 1ohm out of the wall socket, and he couldn't get it to blow it. Mostly because it was still not broken in but what can I say, i'm a gentle guy.

 

We had a competition with 3 subs to see which one would last the longest. A mid grade Sony Xplod, A mid grade Pioneer champion series and a low grade Digital Designs 1510.

Pioneer: 7 seconds
Sony: 16 seconds
DD: 1:47 seconds

Pretty impressive from a sub thats only supposed to handle 450 watts.

 

dBDon??? Is that Don Hebig?

Yes it is.
