Anything that is flamable may be set on fire as long as there is air and a flame. Don't set it on fire.

This scenario is entirely possible. If not probable. Being that a neodymium motor structure, in a pro audio woofer, will have a much tighter physical tolerances. As you hit potholes and railroad tracks, the voice coil will rub against the pole piece and motor. Eventually the voice coil will start to short out. After a little more time, it will start to overheat. Which could cause the paper come to catch fire. This sub is absolutely made to be in a static, or stationary, environment. To be completely honest, you could get better output out of a single RD Audio Heavyweight 18. You just wouldn't have the novelty of having a 21" sub in your car.
