hey my buddie has just blown 6 sets of HDC3 15s... he is looking for something that will hold up a little better. he keeps burning them up trying to get top score in a class that you have to play music for 30 sec.
anyways! he is running close to 9k . the HDC3 were good for the money but music with that much power they are not cutting it.
i know a few subs that will work but money is a big part of this.
so what will hold up?and not cost a ton. i was thinking 4 inch voice coils...

yeah not many people are using 4" coils right now. even the 21" Warden's are only running a 3" coil.

Treo often takes forever, and I've never heard good things about their customer service. I was going to buy from them years ago but they took forever to respond, wanted too much, and had like a 2 month build time.

My old btls held up great to 5k on music, in the right box. I would feel fine with 10kw each on the wardens for shows. The other suggestions were good too. I'd love to try some level 5s, the rd shw if you can get them, cactus sounds makes one, as does atomic- can't remember if its the apxx, maybe someone could help with that.

what a Treo dealer was explaining to me is that treo does not really cater to individuals themselves , they let their dealers handle all the technicalities & dealing with customers ...

4" apxx would work for sure. I would bet the 3" apxx and apx (which is 3" too) would work, just make sure if you buy one you know exatly what motor and softparts they have, they are all built different as they are built to order. RD hw and shw are the same essential thing, softparts come from same place as well.

It sounds more to me like he has issues outside of the drivers themselves.
no ISF in place on a band pass or ported box maybe, or insuffucient charging system to handle that current drain, causing the amps to clip and damage the subs thermally, or his gains aren't set right, again causing the amps to clip and thermally damage the subs.

In any event, it's probably his own fault the subs are cooking, and not the fault of the subs directly.
