I hope you didn't kill it, they truly are great subs (and they do still get loud for those of you who think they do not have good output) . The sub is built like a tank, like Jacob said before, the surround or cone are the weak spots. I am guessing your rca's are grounding out., or you have a partially blow fuse.

how do i know preout voltage?

what HU do you have? look in your manual itll tell you the preout voltage. unless you have a cheap HU it should be switched to the 1v-8v setting. usually any decent HU will have 2v or higher preouts

First off that box is too big, I know b/c i had mine in a box that big and I had to put a piece of wood in it. For 600 watts id go .85-1.0 max. They have a 3" v/c so im doubting it would blow that easily off of that power even though you were clipping the piss out of it. I also think it sounds like you may have a grounding issue if everything went out. Check you grounds and make sure they are secure and that there is a good connection to the metal(scrap off paint if neccesary)

Well i just read that the amp came on as usual so it may be the rca's as zachfeen stated earlier
