[QUOTE="big nick, post: 7020710, member: 613158"] alright my amp is a jbl gto700.1 in 2 years ive gone through 5 subs 2 kenwood w3011's (svc rated at 400rms each) and 3 mtx ts55 (dvc rated at 600rms each) every setup has been with two subs so when i had the kenwoods together they should have been able to handle 800 rms and the mtx's should have been able to handle 1200 rms my amp does 700x1@2ohms and 425x1@4 ohms everytime the subs blow they are rated higher than the amp i realize the subs i had werent exactly the best but i still feel like they shouldnt have blown. the kenwoods were ran at 4 ohms and the mtx's were run at 2 ohms i have 4 gauge wire from the battery to the amp 4 gauge grounded less than a foot away grounded to a bolt holding the seat down with 16 gauge wire from the amp through the terminals and to the subs. Also id like to add that i never had any distortion or clipping does anyone have any idea on why i keep blowing my subs? i think my amp is wired fine and everything was bought brand new i plan on getting 2 kicker l5's rated at 600 rms each, i figure that they would be built a little better than everything else ive had or if anyone has another suggestion let me know i realize most of you guys are more knowledgable than me with this stuff lol [/QUOTE]
