[QUOTE="EvilEd, post: 8442817, member: 636290"] thanks for the feedback! That was my initial thought too but I dont understand how the JLs managed for so long. They are still in fine working condition, I had to put them back in after the Type R blew. When I say 70-80% I mean that was the volume on the deck. The volume was about 27/35 on my Alpine with 4v preouts. The gain was set at 3 or about 20%, when I had the 12W6s it was set at 5 or about 30%. I accept the fact that I may have been clipping the signal but are JLs really so much stronger that they can take a signal that's clipping even harder for up to 8 hours per day for 8 years at 70-80% volume but the alpine could only take 20 minutes? I've never seen a sub fall apart so easily, and it sounded amazing before it started smoking. I really think I got a bad sub.... [/QUOTE]
