Occasionally there was a head scratcher that took a while to diagnose. If there was ever a question, I would always credit the customer.

Here's a burnt VC.


When the VC is burnt evenly all the way around, theres no mechanical cause, it's a simple case of over powering. Customers fault. The only other way a customer could be at fault, was if the bottom of the VC was smashed on the pole piece with the suspension intact. That happens when you hit the speaker with excessive low freq below the port freq.

But they haven't given me any work in over a month now! I'm hungry! So is Cambria.

Thats cool stuff, i've been getting more and more into audio, speaker building and the like. How did you get into something like that?

Don't get into the speaker business unless you want to sell, all of the engineering/ manufacturing is moving to China.

It never hurt to learn for the sake of a hobby. I'm still learning about carbs, and I'm fairly certain they've stopped using those in cars now.

Unless you're setup to measure those crossovers, you're really just shooting in the dark. Unless you're just doing simple hi-pass lo-pass stuff.
