Are the crossovers bi ampable?? I noticed there are 8 terminals on them.

Pioneer 7100bt if you can find one. Or the 3200.

How much did you buy these subs for? My guess is if you bump your speakers a lot....then a about a year is about what you're going to get out of them.

TURN IT DOWN !!!!!! Ok, seriously, where are your gains set? Do you have them cranked??

I would bet you have a bad ground somewhere in your system. I have a pico fuse in my decks and have had NO problems.

Pioneer put that fuse in to protect the head unit. Bottom line, what causes this is an insufficient ground at the amplifier. If the ground at the amp isn't a good one then electricity travels the path of least resistance and blows the fuse instead of frying the head unit. Therefore, as I said...

I don't have any experience on Alpine or Boston speakers. But I will say those Alpines wouldn't that much of a step up. If you're wanting to make a big leap from what you have maybe try something from CDT, Focal, Dynaudio, or maybe DLS. This is a good place to look. Not really cheap but a...

Budget??

I'm very happy with my equipment but I'm ready to redo my trunk. Just want something different and a little more original. My list of equipment speaks for itself.

I guess what I was referring to is that the only people I've heard of having problems with this are guys on this forum. I know 2 Pioneer installers 1 in MI and 1 in IN and they have never had a head unit come back that they or their customers have installed. I can't believe there are that...

Well, that'll show 'em huh?? You installed it wrong and now you get to go and buy a new head unit. Nice.

Of course you could always get 2 smaller 2 ohm stable mono amps and put an amp on each voice coil.

FIMPALASS is right. A dual 2 ohm sub will give you 2 configurations. 1 ohm in parallel or 4 ohms in series.

Installed correctly, this is NOT an issue.
