this is one heated up voice coil !
it's 2 weeks old,
this is a 15" Rockford Fosgate P2D215,it's a dual 2 ohm VC,it was wired at 4 ohms bridged to a new kenwood amp,the amp is fine,we connected another sub to it.

crazy !

It appears as though it started on fire. I am pretty sure that will not be covered under warranty, but rather a termed as "abuse".

What did the guy do? Hook it up to an ARC welder?

I have an ARC welder and a couple of old speakers. Come on up and we'll test it out.

Guess it depends on the dealer. All my blown speakers are from abuse and my dealer just laughs at me and gives me new drivers.

That's plain nuts. How much power was the amp putting out?

 

[gmichael]

I'm guessing, RF = Rockford Fosgate. Do I win a cookie?

Who is RF?

Rockford Fosgate?

 

[annunaki]

When I managed a shop that carried Rockford we had some crazy abused woofers get replaced. I am unsure if that is still the case or not?

it's bridged into 4 ohms @ 500x1,it's not all that much power really.

it's a kenwood KAC-7204

 

[croseiv]

Geez! That's one superfried woofer right there.

 

[mike c]

who's RF? in case we haven't gotten that covered yet ...

that thing has abuse written all over it.

I have the 10" version of that sub in my car running at 4 ohms with an Infinity Reference amp, it gets way too loud for me before any amp clipping occurs. How the hell does someone do that to a speaker? Something shorted perhaps?

 

[croseiv]

It reminds me of the damage you see those goofballs doing to woofers on youtube when they run them directly off of the wall current.

I've never heard of this, what would be the point?

I'm baffled on this one.

considering the amp and all the wiring is ok.

like mike said,maybe some extreme listening with the loudness on and bass boost all the way and the gain turned all the way!?!?

all the adjustments looked ok on the amp when I looked at it .
