Well the warrenty on My GF’s subwoofers runs out in a couple weeks. We thought about blowing them so that we could get the free replacements. How would we go about doing this? We have a Viper or Cobra Amp (cant remeber which) thats rated at 800w RMS. What should we do? ---

bridge the amp, throw a chap pot over the back of the sub and heat it up with a torch to overheat the sub while its pushing as much bass as you can manage … should overheat in no time ---

yeah… connect it to a wall socket… it will make a sound for about a second or two… maybe even longer depending on how much juice it can handle… then it will probably give you a little puff of smoke… then go reset your circuit breaker… ---

yeah i work at Stereo Advantage in car audio…the wall socket idea is the easiest way to do it…just make sure u do it in a well-ventillated area cuz they have been known to smoke a bit with that method. id just be careful though cuz some places will bitch about it and be able to tell that it was user neglect and therefore not give you new subs 9i kno we do tat a lot, so if u bought them from Stereo Advantage, dont even do it) ---
