[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 13065, member: 541271"] Hmm. Sounds like somebody doesn't know what they are doing. I just finished a JL setup about a month ago, with 2 JL12W6's. I was pushing a good 350-375 watts apiece, and they were bumping like a mother. Second of all, I think JL is more of a SQ sub than SPL, although they are capable of decent SPL numbers. The JL system I setup would smoke yours, and I think just about everyone on here will agree, because you have no idea what you are doing. I'd hate to break it to you, but if you smelled burning coming off the sub, then the voice coil was burnt, so you didn't turn it off before they blew. Second of all, how many ohms were you running the subs at, I don't see how you could achieve a 4 ohm load, and even if you did you would only be pushing 200 watts to them which they can easily handle. But I'd be willing to bet that you were probably running them around 1.67 ohms, and had no idea what you were doing. Anybody else out there wanna agree w/me. [/QUOTE]
