[QUOTE="john.mulvehill, post: 6963242, member: 625086"] the shop is blaming me 100% for the blown and saying that they did the install just fine. I find it strange though that there was a funny smell in the car as I was driving home from the audio shop. I smelled that smell the whole way home and called the audio shop about it. They said it was probably just the air being pushed out of the box. The subs cut out shortly after and there was smoke in the trunk. you guys are positive that i am not to blame? i couldn't have blown the sub that quick by playing the volume too loud? is the problem most likely related to the shop incorrectly setting the gain? btw, the installer said he put the gain up to one third. but interestingly, when they were putting the big box into the trunk, the same installer said "i hope the gain is set right because I am not going to be able to get to it once that box is lodged in the trunk." This does not sound like a very confident statement about the gain being set correctly. [/QUOTE]
