I didn't know of any warantty, but it was hooked up to a htg2600d lazar amp, so I doubt they'd accept it anyway. Aligning teh coil was basically a guess, I glued teh spider first then the surround and just pushed it up and down to make sure it wasn't scraping...and it does make kind of a scraping noise with the right freq and vol but I'll be using them for bass race anyway most likely. I think with the resined cones they will hold up a little better now...need to get them back on teh meter. I hit a 143.8 with them placed on the dash...but that's what caused the one to pop.

I thought about using some of these TB subs for midbass, but looks like they don't like abuse Past Setup

next time you align the coil use something like a playing card or a fim negative to center the coil.
