ever heard of this?

well in reply to the topic "best way to kill a sub" i think dwarrens idea was best sell it for a tootsie pop. thats the way i would go, little devil. i love tootsie pops. i wounder how long it would take to get to center of that tootsie pop?

but that 120vac will diffently put that sub out of commission.

anyway i heard i rumor once that an ols school cerwin vega stroker could withstand 120vac. supposedly it was done,but i never saw it personaly. has anyone else heard of such a thing?

I'm guessing you are talking about getting 120VAC from a wall outlet. That would fall flats on its face because it would almost present the circuit with a short circuit. 4ohms isn't much resistance. So, it would immediatly flip the circuit breaker before anything happened.

-------------
Check all advice given with a meter

Look, review Ohm's law.  120V into a 4 ohm load is 3600 watts and a 30-amp draw and in the US it'd produce a 60Hz tone.  Lots of circuits will supply that, lots of high-power subs will withstand that.  It is no big deal.

I really don't understand the fascination some kids have with this idea of plugging a speaker into the wall.

i agree with dyohn that this is highly retarded... but i know the people at mtx luv it since they have a test where they plugged a 9500 into the wall and it didn't blow.. highly stupid.. don't people have anything better to do with there time?? seriously

well that what i was stating . cerwin vega had the same test back in the 90's . to show how tuff the sub was. and thank you for the input dyohn i should of took the time too do the math. there really was no reason for the tone of words. whoa

when i was a kid i hooked a 15" home speaker to a wall oulet and it smoked the sub in no time and it did"nt blow the breaker. looking back yes it was quite dumb.

I am afraid you've got me confused here, I wouldn't say such a dated line, you're looking for a different fella. Who eats "tootsie pops" anyway? I call 'em suckers...

Dyohn and ragoal you guys take this too seriously man. It is a crappy beat up 8" I was going to throw in the trash anyways.

I'm not going to plug it into a wall outlet (that's crazy), but I will just hook it up to an amp and see what it can do at 6 times its rms rating. I wouldn't be surprised if it can actually handle it for good amount of time.

just fry the thing and get it over with maybe we can have a burial services for it. ha ha. have fun!!!!!!!!!

And then there was a Canadian who ran a 60hz tone cd into his Soundstream Rubicon 1000, next he took his skilsaw and hooked it up to the bridged outputs and proceeded to start cutting 2x4's.

I can remember doing the speaker cone meltdown in the late 80's, we then got more enjoyment throwing them high into the air to see how many pieces we could get it to break into and finally we would drive over it.

id rather not be chased by bits scrapemetal. but for the sake of blowing things up what the hell go for it. ha i love this site some great ideas.

DYohn....most of them do it to return their subs back to Circut City or Best Buy for a defect

Uhhhhh, I think if someone brought me back a speaker that had been plugged into the wall, I would know it and I don't it would be covered under warranty. Definately not JL. Burnt voice coils seldom are these days.

-------------
There is no such thing as free installation!

I tihnk it would be funnier if someone tried to return it after actually blowing it up

i guess the amp was to big or something

I find it rather interesting that the manufacturer will warranty it for <insert BIG BOX BUTCHER name here> and they will not warranty it for the indipendent, yet we share the same customers and pay with the same money.

yup dido on that forbidden whats up with that? all are moneys green in some cases and will all have them "customers"
