[QUOTE="Dafaseles, post: 8761878, member: 681482"] Do you turn the volume of your head unit up all the way? That can introduce clipping into the frequency as well and cook your subs. If you don't know the max, undistorded volume of your head unit, usually 3/4 is a good stopping point. Make sure your LPF on your amp isn't set too high (should be around 80 hz). Also, you could be dropping voltage, listening to the system at high volumes. Try just changing the battery and doing the big 3 upgrade b(if you haven't already) and see if that helps. I don't know how that stereo shop set your gains, but here's a video on how to do it yourself. It wouldn't hurt to go ahead and check their work [MEDIA=youtube]2eRYzXBmWq8[/MEDIA] If you're cooking your subs, before you spend more money on new equipment, figure out why it's happening, or it's just going to happen again with more expensive items [/QUOTE]
