[QUOTE="wsu99999, post: 6917259, member: 624443"] Hey Guys - This is my 1st post, I've been reading these forums for years, but didn't even become a member until yesterday... Here's my problem. I took some old equipment to a local car audio shop to have it all installed. The equipment is as follows... 2x Kicker L5 12's, and 2x JBL BP600.1's. It got installed (into my 98 Cadillac Deville), and everything bumped great, but I was having huge power drains when large bass notes hit. I took it to the shop and they installed a 100 Farad battery in the trunk. 10 min out of the shop, Speaker # 1 goes up in smoke... The next day I have them give me a new single box for the remaining Kicker, take out the battery (cause I clearly don't need it w/ one woofer), and hook the remaining Kicker up to one amp.... 10 min out of the shop, the other woofer blows. I'm curious as to why. These bumped in my car for a good month prior to the battery install. Is it a coincidence that they both blew after the changes to the wiring, or did the shop do something wrong? I know it's tough to tell w/o looking at it, but what are your thoughts. I doubt there is much I can do, except not use that shop anymore, but I want to know if it was there fault, or if it was just time for the woofers to go. Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
