Blowing a Memphis PR 12

[ManRossDamn]

@scrammy18 Yes it did. It's trash.

[knockout77]

im not trying to give the sound shop anymore money... i got three of these speakers. i took the whole system out my truck... i debating about having them installed in my 2010 buick lacrosse. any idea people what a good 12. just one sub.. that all i need.

my amp memphis too.

[phillipwhite04]

had 2 pr 15's (now sitting in the basement ) on a hifonics brutus amp lasted about 4 weeks before the cone gave way now have hifonics XXV 15's

[Ian2lo4u2c]

I say send them all to the bloody depths, one by one.

[colthard]

you couldnt pay me to own memphis. sure, its loud and has a good warranty, but its very sloppy with lots of cone noise.

[MandoMadnessCarAudio]

if you were to pick a set of subs that to throw in your ride what would you choose?

[colthard]

i ran two JL Audio 10W6V2's in my camaro on a JL 1000/1. I no longer have the camaro, so everything i have is sitting in my apartment. I also have an RE XXX 15" that i've never hooked up sitting in my floor and a JL13w7 that ive never hooked up sitting. I have an 84 corvette now and havent decided if or what im going to put in it. The 10w6's im probably going to be putting in an Audi TT here before long on either a JL 500/1 on a JL HD750/1

[philip3441]

@colthard epic win, haha

[mazda2284]

sweet send it to me , i use parts from old subs to make superwoofers.

[colthard]

If you'll listen, the noise emitting from that PR closely resembles the bass of the song "hood nigga" by gorilla zoe most likely because that was the song I played when I recorded this video...

[Hless421]

didnt know a wall socket could play music....

[pianomanceg]

What was the name of that song?

[asusvx2]

haha :D nice :D

[superdave308]

I thought all Memphis were supposed to sound like that.

[psyfertech]

how many watts did you pump into it

[colthard]

1000

[psyfertech]

holy shit, 1,000 all into that speaker, wow thats great man, lol

looked like the rubber was dry rotted, no wonder it blew, hehe

[DjCristii]

umm definatly not old rotted and dry rubber.. lol.. just to much power

[psyfertech]

well, i mean if you look at it, it kinda looks like the rubber dry rotted but yeah i would have saved this sub or sold it on craigs list

[colthard]

the cone was cracked too

[joshfisher169]

oohhhh no not the cones :(

[smokethatdro06]

bullshit u plugged it into the wall i got one of these hooked up to 2400 watts hasn't blown yet

[colthard]

you're a fucking stupid ass motherfucker. the song it gorilla zoe - hood nigga that i played. and you probably have it hooked up to some piece of shit pyramid or other offbrand shitass amp that really only puts out like 200 watts RMS. so go fuck yourself and keep moronic comments like that to yourself.

[musick63]

true that same here 2000 watts though

[krazyk86cu]

that must be one POS amp cause PR's only handle 250 RMS.

Unless you have Mojos or something. Those handle way more power

I got two 12" PR's hooked up to a 500w M class monoblock and that shit hits hard. 3 year warranty on the amp and 2 on the subs. gotta love Memphis :)

[408er2]

will puting a 1000w amp on tha 2 12pr b a good idea

[krazyk86cu]

Nope. The PR subs handle 250w each. All you really need is a nice 500w amp to run two PR's.

I have 2 PR 12"s hooked to a 500w M class Memphis amp, and they hit nice and hard. Perfect combo. Hit up saabkyle04 's channel for some videos of my subs,

[408er2]

yea i hav tha same setup ..but i got used to it and want more power

[chevy404zone6]

but im running a 15inch-pr on a punch p1000rms@1ohm and its gonna happen its gonna blow i can feel it .

[djdecca]

no smoke =(

[cuttyrida88]

Poor pr, i like those subs too, oh well

[subwoofers650]

Why would you blow a Memphis sub man? Of course it took it like a man....Memphis audio is the best out there! You could've hooked that sub up and been slammin man....or you could've given it to me. lol.

[colthard]

the cone had a crack in it, so we decided to finish it off, then pay 20 bucks to have it shipped off for a warranty replacement... which we got... hehe

[XxXjos3phXxX]

Have you ever thought of buying another stronger amp to that sub? I want to see your old subs fly on your next video.

[krazyk86cu]

hahahaha, yeah gotta love that two year warranty that comes with the PR's.

[DJnewdoe]

@subwoofers650 memhpis blow bud....fi DD sundown and soundstream ftw

[951258tike22]

yea, thatts pretty impressive too

[951258tike22]

damn that sub took it like a real man! in most wall socket shit i see the sub blows in like .00001 seconds lol

[colthard]

its not in a wall socket, its hooked up to a JL 1000/1... which is still 4 times its rated power, and in free-air, so it still took it like a man... =oP

[951258tike22]

o yea lol im an idiot, shoulda read the details

[PaterBoy17]

sounds like a wanna be Dr. EVIL

[colthard]

lol, yeah, it's my buddy cheston with my camera. he's a unique fella. im not too sure what accent he was trying to go for on that one tho.... dr. evil sounds like a good possibility tho... =o)

[stratmemph1]

ah. didnt see that. my bad. but alot of people on youtube hook it into wall sockets. which for this sub you wouldnt need it. yeah running it at over 500w of its peak power will easily do that.

[stratmemph1]

you dont need to plug it into a wall socket to do that. i did that 3 times with my amp in my car.

[colthard]

I didnt plug it into a wall socket, if you would have read more info about the vid you would have seen that I hooked it up to my JL 1000/1....

[stratmemph1]

you dont need to plug it into a wall socket to do that. i did that 3 times with my amp in my car.

[ozuna15]

where do u get those?

[colthard]

southeast area of America. They're actually manufactured in Memphis, TN. If you go to memphiscaraudio dot com you can do an authorized dealer search.

[Memphis15s]

You Killer's, LOL........

[alcpunk]

of course it popped it has no pressure on the cone.

[xazax632]

JL cant take the RE power.... however JL does do a bit better in the SQ department :]

[calvinyuenblinke]

Hahahah damn, lots of poppin' That voice coil is being raped!

[colthard]

it is it is it issssss

but it was under warranty so we're getting a new one. =o)

[bman9089]

most companies won't replace subs that have obviously been abused. For this reason. Don't count on your warranty to get you a new one.
