Mids that wont blow

actually a CA600 will do 150rms x 2 @ 4 ohms

Although that amp may put out rated power, that would be at 16v. That's usually how manufacturers base their output by, so they can rate their amps as high as possible without flat out false advertising. Daily, on music, you'd probably see between 75-100 watts, if that amp even does the rated power.

that amp has been tested lol. and did right at rated power on 14.4

They are simply not a quality brand known for putting out rated, clean power. Sure, they are decent budget amps, and who knows, maybe his amp DOES put out rated, either way 100 watts RMS isnt going to kill his speakers.

Show me the bench tests that prove otherwise...Profile used to be known as a quality audiophile brand believe it or not...No idea when that mentality was changed...
The older XL series were known to outperform amps that cost several times as much at the time...

last time I checked manufactures are more inclined to rate at 14.4V, especially with the CEA-2006 standards...don't know where you heard the 16V nonsense...
As mentioned before, the mid probably failed mechanically rather than thermally...unless the speaker was very poorly built...
