shail 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 My JL Audio 10w0 has started to fart like a trooper. How long do subs last? Ive been powering it with a bridged Alpine MRVT407 which is not over powering the sub at all.Do subs only have a certain shelf life? This is my first sub, so wouldn't know.I listen to it relatively loud, but not so the amp clips or sub distorts. Link to post Share on other sites
ingham 5 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 dont know but my rockford fosgate sub is over five years old and and still sounds fine Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 yeah ver unusual for a sub like that to wear out if it hasnt been over amped- Are there any perforations in the cone then shail? Link to post Share on other sites
shail 0 Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Warren - just looked at the sub - the rubber around the cone is torn for 3/4 of the circumference. Looks like there wasnt enough clearance between the cone and the grill which i put over the top which was causing the rubber to crease when the cone moved out, rather than letting it move freely in and out. So, all my doing and not a dodgy sub Link to post Share on other sites
