Blown Type R's?

[milellie111 10+ year member]

Hey guy's, i have had my type R's(the new 05 version) SWR=1242D installed in a Qlogic 1.25 cu. ft sealed box for about 2 weeks. They have pounded! Today though, i was riding around, bumping for about a good 30 minutes when i noticed that one, or maybe both of my subs started playing weird. I switched the song and i heard a bottoming out sort of clap rattle noise each time the bass hits and it hasn't stopped since and sounds really bad. It was very hot today in DC(105 degrees) so i don't know if heat has anything to do with it. I have them powered off of a MB Quart RA1000 amp and the gains are usually kept to about 1/4 of the way up, sometimes i turn it up to about 1/2 with the remote gain lead. The Bass EQ is about halfway up also. Does anyone know if they are blown or not? I got them from Best Buy about 2 months ago, will they replace it? Thanks for all your help.
