Ha I feel your pain //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif except mine tore the tinsel leads, it was getting 1100 watts RMS and got beat down.
Nothing wrong with square subs, it may not be the best-sounding sub but it sure is friggin LOUD. Currently you can't recone any square subs except the Kicker Solo-X, Kicker sells a kit for them.
The dual 12" Solo-X that my friends and I installed peaked at 22Hz(!) and can pound your face off in the super lows.
Ok, I had this thing in my 5.0 years ago and it's just been stuffed up in the attic. Its looks like I could almost reglue it as it seems to have just peeled away. That seems like a time bomb though.
