[QUOTE="tranced, post: 7825519, member: 642896"] I recently ordered a MB-Quart-ONX1.1500D(1000rms@2ohm) to power my 4 ohm DVC Audiobahn aw1006t(900RMS) . Seems like a great match for each other @ 2ohms. anyways my friend wanted to try out my sub with his new amp after work today so what the hell why not. he has a Alpine MRP-M500 amp. This thing is only rated at 500RMS @ 2 ohms. we hook it up and my sub sounds great. after like 3 minutes of testing a bass mechanix cd, i began to smell the familiar voice coil smell. i let it hit for another minute to see if it went away but it didnt. I felt the cone after we shut it off and man that thing was hot. so my question is what gives? this sub is rated for double what that amp puts out and it was well on its way to killing my sub in 10 minutes flat? Granted i know that audiobahn isnt the greatest, but this particular line of them were supposed to be tough as nails. Is my new amp going to be the death of this sub? [/QUOTE]
