January 18, 201214 yr I can see someone popping a spider joint, due to the very uncompliant suspension, but that needs to be taken in a case-by-case basis.
January 18, 201214 yr So why does AudioQue recommend a break in period...??! Let me guess.....cause there Chinese parts.?! LOLIm sure there are other companies that recommend that alsoActually AQ (as other companies) use that as a warranty tactic. As with many companies I worked for it is a loop whole, and if any company tries to say you didn't properly break in your sub. Call bs and force them to prove it to you. There is 100% no way to tell how a sub was "broke in". As for spider failures, no. Those will fail regardless at some point. There is no mythical or magical break in for subs.

January 20, 201214 yr I can see someone popping a spider joint, due to the very uncompliant suspension, but that needs to be taken in a case-by-case basis.Then the glue/glue job was shit to begin with if you're popping a spider because the suspension is just stiff.
January 20, 201214 yr Usually happens above the rms of the sub though. Where people run double the rms on a brand new sub is where a failure like that would happen I think.
January 20, 201214 yr The RMS has nothing to do with anything mechanical. It also has nothing to do with how much a drivers needs, at all. It is one of the most overly emphasized but irrelevant spec.

It's happened to me, I've launched a coil out of the gap, it popped the glue joint and the coil rested on the top plate. The combination of a strong motor, long coil, and uncompliant suspension can be detrimental if too much power is applied.
January 20, 201214 yr Sounds to me like there was simply too much power applied, period. If you jump a coil, that's not a fault of the suspension, that's the fault of too much power. In this case I would agree with Phi....if the spider joint broke, then it was either overexcurted to the point failure was imminent anyways or the glue joint was bad to begin with. Either way, if the coil left the gap.....it was way overpowered.
January 20, 201214 yr Haha which reminds me, I put 1000 watts to a 100 rms 8 and went way below tuning(22hz with a 36hz tuning and no ssf) the coil stuck on the top plate ha I laughed hard.
January 21, 201214 yr That's true. It was playing fine until the spider pulled away from the joint on 1 side. I could see the coil come about 2 mm out of the gap at full excursion!! Edited January 21, 201214 yr by Dangrebel
