I have blown three sets of subs in under two years. The first set the surrounds separated from the cone, looked like the glue gave out. The second time The wire that runs from the speaker terminal to the woofer burnt into two pieces and the surround came unglued. The third set the wire from the speaker terminal to the speaker cone gave out again. Is this manufacturing problems or is it my set-up? I have a kenwood 600 watt peak amp running bridged with the wires running + to - and - to +. The subs are jbl speakers and are rated at 250 watts rms each and peak at 1000 watts. THe first and second set, when I turned the speakers up loud the bass would cut out prior to the speaker damage. Help is greatly appreciated. THe sound of the subs is geat. I don't notice any distortion, except on low quality downloaded songs. I tried a lightning audio amp with the same ratings and the speakers didn't sound as good and had a tendency to distort. I tried a cheap amp rated at 1,000 watts and it sounded worse than the lightning audio amp.
