BD & The Police Combine to Blow my Sub! Woo-Hoo!

[Anscules]

My 7-year old pioneer sub met the police bd "live in buenos aires" (aka "certifiable") and it simply couldn't handle it at the volumes i had requested.

enormously loud, without distortion, i watched most of the concert, and was ever-increasing the volume, pushing that envelope.

finally, four songs from the end, there was this horrendous slap/flap sound during the first verse of "roxanne." after further review, i determined that the sucker is trashed.



now i'm searching for a polk or inifinity, but am intrigued by this elemental design stuff, too.

Oh the ED...ordered mine. My uncle who has always had high end audio gear and an Electical Engineer was impressed with my decission. He said it would be able to hold it's own...

Do yourself a favor and don't go polk for a sub...

You can easily repair your sub. It is more fun and rewarding than buying a new sub. I have blown subs in the past and repaired them. Check the Repairing & Upgrading Subwoofers thread. Also check post #2. There are a lot of good links there for buying drivers and parts.
