My question to them was this:
Thanks for the reply, I just need one more thing from you. Did JL Audio EVER put a paper in a new woofer with a Skull and crossbones stating that not using both coils will void your warranty.

As a matter of fact we do have a card with that warning.

I think that should end any disagreements right there. This doesn't even begin to surprise me. Considering that consumers, in general, are not the sharpest people, it makes good business sense, how many people would realize that their speaker had a diminished power handling capability? Very few...so when they put 400 watts into the speaker, because their brother told them that more power was always safe, and it blows, JL doesn't want or deserve the responsibility or replacing that driver.
