Yes brayeagle, it’s great to have custom made stuff from Blue Jeans. I’m going to have some interconnect made, short and long.


They have really low capacitance interconnects which is great for some long runs I need, especially to my subwoofers. Though admittedly the really low capacitance of the BJ cables may be overkill for a subwoofer signal which is being low-passed ...what the heck...a little over-engineering never hurt.

Had them make the interconnects from my preamp to the amplifier

Ron, all of your failures sound like overheated voice coils, either delaminating or in the case of humming along, being loose enough to squirm on the former. The cause is most probably being fed a distorted / semi-clipped signal. The first driver was probably good out of the box and also failed via underpowering.

thanks Tom.  i guess i play them too loud but i measured and the average is about 78 db with peaks of 85.  plus the PS Audio BHK 250 amp is a hoss.  I will have to be more careful  but interestingly enough,  in the past using lesser amps with the older models, and playing at the same levels,  they did not blow.   my  guess is that the newer coax is just a bit more touchy.  thanks so much for being on this thread.
