Badass. What model sub? I always have a certain amount of admiration for speakers that just simply refuse to die no matter what you do to it..

Anyways.. One of the things that just really just made me feel like an utter moron was recent.. Touching up the solder on one of my speaker connections with a blow torch... I had it on really low and I was just rolling blue flame over it... Unfortunately apparently 6x9 speaker surrounds are subject to heat build-up as its mounted to fire up... Set the surround on fire. xD Melted a nice hole in it. Still bumps fine with no distortion.

The other time was in a moment of impatience I passed a speaker over the roof of my car... Forgetting that it's got a magnet on it .. Needless to say it slid a nice gouge across the entire roof of my car. I felt pretty special that day too.

 

Old freind of mine sealed his keys inside his box, we only found them there when we picked up the box and heard somthing slide across inside haha

 

this one made me laugh a lil...

 

lol, these are all really, really good 'how NOT to's

how on earth do you seal your keys in your box? thats just special lol

 

We dident really have a workbench so we built the sub box and had it between saw horses and well he set them on the edge or right in side and. They somehow managed to be sealed when we screw the subs in

 

paid 10,000 for a paint job and let the body shop wire the door poppers while there doing the body work, came home poped the doors car lit up like the 4th of july and almost burn;t down my house with the truck when the gas tank blew.
had 60,000 into it. just can't let it go

 

Had a D'oh moment back in early nineties, but never figured it would cause a problem with the amp though. I had an alpine deck ( yeah it was a shaft mount ) with no RCAs out. So I pick up a nice little Alpine EQ with both RCA and speaker level inputs with 3 sets of RCAs out and the built in X-over and level control for the sub. Perfect now I can hook up my 2ch and sub amp with RCAs. The problem arose after hooking up the speaker wires from the deck to the EQ I mounted the EQ under the dash. THEN ran the RCAs and had to hook them up by reaching around behind and of course the 2ch amp got plugged into the RCA input which was somehow directly connected to the speaker level inputs. Amp was toast.

 

in my rookie days I once wired the speaker outputs of an amp to the speaker outs on a Head unit. Instead of out tot he car... let the magic smoke out of the radio

 

holly crap

 

@ old man
Wouldn't the body shop be responsible for fixing that? Since they wired the poppers which burnt down the truck
Still sucks though. Sucks a lot
