Can I ask how it would damage the sub, what exactly would get damaged?
My feeling is that to create such an enormous pop, the driver cone must have moved quite a distance when given the voltage spike from the power being cycled on the BFD. If the cone is driven beyond the gap and the magnetic structure of the driver isn't in play anymore, it could physically damage the coil assembly.
