Another MM12 bites the dust

the amp he's using is rated at 400 watts at 4 ohms (granted, that IS at 14.4 volts, but a normal car runs at 13.8, so call it 350)... that sort of minor clipping shouldn't kill a sub (assuming he's set the gain properly). the only possible conclusion is that the batch of mm2124s his came from is faulty. if you'd been around for longer before mouthing off, you'd have noticed this trend. we NEVER get a complaint about thi GNX or DB series going...

If there line up was as bad as you and others say it is based on some trend of people bad mouthing Momo subs here, then surely Polk would just replace that whole lineup, because financially it would be more effective for them to create new and improved line, then to have people constantly returning the same subs and having Polk replace them free or charge. But then again, it may actually be more beneficial for Polk to just replace all the subs returned, I really don't know the answer to that, but I do know that that would be crazy for Polk to just let their good name go to waist, because in the long run that would be more damaging then just replacing the line up.

I'll tell you this though, there is no need for you to jump the gun and assume that I'm bad mouthing anybody. Because before I do anything of that nature, I have to see just how car audio cocky and illiterate a person.

I was just making a suggestion as to why the subs were being blown, not saying that was it and only it, because I could have named off several other reasons as to why the subs were blowing. I just took the most logical reason based on what was written in the forum by whoever I responded to yesterday.

fair enough. the pattern i mentioned had to do with the fact that we had many many more reports of blown subs a few months back, and thus we've generally concluded that there was a bad batch made at some point (faulty VC wiring, maybe, but who knows). we're getting rather fewer reports now, but each and every one is still about the momo series.

this has lead to a fairly widespread call to remove the momo name from polk products, which both incorporates your suggestion and may pull the price down a bit. both suggestions are unfounded, and i'm of the opinion that whatever polk is doing is working out well, so let 'em do what they want. this view also applies to their lack of recall or the like on the mm series subs.

my 'mouthing off' comment was due to the fact that you didn't mention any of the other reasons you could have, and i assumed it was standard trolling behavior. my bad.
