[QUOTE="galacticmonkey, post: 6298159, member: 570857"] There are a couple possibilities: -Your gains werent set correctly and therefore clipped the signal and fried the sub. -If your gains WERE set correctly, and you were beating on it for a while and your voltage started dropping very low, that will cause your amp to clip. -The 3,xxxrms was just too much for the sub to handle for this amount of time, blowing the sub. -The song you were playing had a note that was right at your box tuning. At your box tuning, the port becomes most efficient and the cone excursion drops severly. Because of this lack of excursion, the coil cannot disappate heat, and overheats, blowing the sub. Im guessing it was little of EACH of the first 3. I would make sure your gains are set properly, make your your electrical system is on par, and then just go easy on the sub. 3,000+ true watts is a LOT for any speaker to take for more than a minute or so on any bass heavy music.
