[QUOTE="wolfey, post: 75876, member: 544404"] so your amp is 900 watts rms at 2 ohms right? THat means 450 per speaker. PG probably underrates there amps so it might be more like 500+ watts per sub. THats pushing your subs 200 watts more than they are supposed to take which cuold be the problem. I also have heard of people running w3's above 250 but you have to be careful when doing that. I blew infinity perfects like crazy with my mtx 81000d when i'd heard of other people doing it with no problem. I think i just had my gains up too high. BUt when you are overpowering subs you run the risk of blowing them every time you push them hard. Get some new subs.. MA might be alright.. but i did notice something interesting.. i used to go on an ma audio forum when i had an MA audio amp and there were lots of people on the forum posting. I went a few weeks back to find out about some subwoofer i saw and there was hardly anybody on there anymore.. that might say something about them in general.. but who knows. I think for awhile they had a little bandwagon started but people are quickly jumping off and making the switch to other companies like adire,DD etc. If it helps to know, the MA audio amp was weak. bumpin blazer will disagree but thats just cus he still has his amp, i already got rid of mine.
