[QUOTE="blueman1388, post: 4522170, member: 592266"] Ok. so i got 2 12" subs 500w rms each and im pushing 470rms to each of them. It will play fine for about 15 mins then i get a burning smell and a little bit of smoke coming from my box. theres no distortion when its playing. Im guessing they are overrated subs and im overpowering them but is there anyway the wires i used in the box are too small and are melting?(14awg). I took the subs out and smelled them they didnt smell like anything but a new sub. thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
