How To Blow A Sub Intentionally??

i have 3 1000 watt subs theyre dual 6. i had them all hooked up to my amp and blew one, then another and i couldnt pop the last one so i could just send them all back together. i think theyre all refurbished sh*t anyway so im at least going to get them all replaced since the third is probably on its last leg. anyways how can i go about blowing it without using my amp? i took the amp and box out of my car and i dont want to screw my amp up anyways. they say they check them all b4 replacing? how can i finish this last on off? thanks for any help

Yep, that's what I would do too. Especially a big sub, 60 Hz is like perfect. Even more fun in a box (louder). But expect the voice voil to melt and possibly short the circuit, tripping the breaker. Choose a circuit that doesn't matter when it is tripped. Also, 120v 60Hz AC is not like an amp's output, it is DEADLY, so do this carefully. If possible, hook it up with no exposed wire to a circuit with a switch. That way it is easy to be standing away from any possible spark or anything. Enjoy, let us know how it goes. /NyxBass

yes, underpowering is the best way to goGive me a place to stand, and I can move the earth -- Archimedes

i dont think it did anything to the voice coil. there was a spark but all it did was blow solder onto the back of the aluminum cone from the tinsel lead/speaker wire connector. it doesnt read on a meter though so i guess that will work.
