Yea, my friend said the same. As long as there are no physical damage...obvious like rips in the surround or holes in the cone...you should be ok with them replacing it.

I talked to the guys at my CC and they said they'll just replace them with the same model. I'm just worried that they'll go back on their word and I'll be screwed. I just found out that I owe my parents another 50 bucks and I need to save up for some stuff.

yeah well I had Orion xtr's subs w/ lifetime warranty. Blow one, take it in, guess what? Orion sold the company so all warranties void. Next time you get lifetime warranty on a product, don't take it for face value. Company could go broke or sellout or something. Craftsman hand tool warranties are the only warranties worth a shit it seems.
I wouldn't purposely blow subs. risky.
