[QUOTE="jellydime, post: 20139, member: 541554"] Subwoofers are blown by distortion, not overpowering... Distortion in a subwoofer is usually caused by the voice coil moving outside of the magnet range in the motor structure. When the coil leaves this area, the energy can no longer be transfered into sound energy and instead must be changed into HEAT(over-excursion is usually a result of overpowering)...too much of this leads to a blown woofer When a sub is in a ported encloser, it does not have the same air pressure resistence that a sealed encloser has. Sealed enclosers actually help to keep a woofer from overthrowing the voice coil, so there is a better chance of this happening in a ported encloser (if you have a problem with this in a sealed encloser, simply adjust the settings on the amp to alleviate the problem) you can also do this with a ported box, but in a ported box, the sub is tuned to a certain frequency and sq is lost, so it is harder to tell if your sub is distorting as a result of the scenario stated above, so after spending all that time typing this out, the short answer is NO it wouldn't necissarily blow them as long as you listen carefully, set your amp settings meticulasly, and are not a volume master. Hope this helps! JELLYDIME [/QUOTE]
