I just blew my 2 12" RE SE's. They still look brand new but the VC's are shot. Luckily i had 2 more sitting in the closet for this scenario lol. Anyone interested in motors or baskets????

I'd be careful with that amp if u have them at 1 ohm... The SEs are underrated, but not by that much... If they're wired to 2 ohms, then you should see why they blew before u go full tilt with the other ones

i had them at 1 ohm lol. I heard nothing but "those subs can handle 800 rms all day" so i turned the amp down to about 3/4 and went with it.

You got a PM about blown SEs.

You turned the amp down to 3/4 so they wouldn't blow? You should learn what that gain knob is for before you put the new subs in and blow them. Just because the gain is up 75% of the way doesn't mean you're only getting 75% of the amps power.

um my HU goes to volme 40 ...i never go past 25. I could tell when the subs were bottoming out so immedietly after hearing it i would re adjust my volume to where they werent. i never put the amp into protect ad considering its sufficating under a seat Im gunna go ahead and say it wasnt running at full tilt. The cone was a foot from my ear so hearing the subbottom out wasnt a problem. i just ran them for too long of time periods going back and forth from school and home. So stop think i just maxed my volume and figured the amp was gunna run 3/4 of it strength.
