RLp-12 repair

[ealvar 0]

OK...

Buddy wanted to buy my RLp-12 and 'try it out' before paying up.

He neglected to adjust gains and crossover on his amp, much to my chagrin, and burned up the voice coils. Apparently his head unit did not have a sub RCA pre-out, so he used the rear RCA pre-outs, which was sending full range to the subwoofer amp. Additionally the gains were turned all the way up (he has some Audiobahn 1000w RMS amp) and the crossover was wide open.

So, after connecting the amp he popped in a CD and proceeded to send a full range signal at max gain the RLp-12 for about 30-45 seconds.

The result: burned voice coils and the sub seized

What are my options to get this guy repaired? My buddy will foot the bill for repair but isn't willing to buy me a new RLp-12.

I'm pretty ticked, but he's a good friend so I'll let it slide.

I'm not sure what version the RLp-12 is, but I'll take some pictures if that will help.

Thanks,

E

I think its half the cost of the driver for a recone plus 2 way shipping. You should contact Mike to get the details.

Thanks. I found Mike's email address and sent him my repair request.

The sub is silver coned, looks like the signature subs, but has the SS logo rather than the signature. It was manufactured in '06, I believe.
