[QUOTE="UsAmpsFreak, post: 8508554, member: 658137"] It's ok to be ignorant to how all of this stuff works. To make what they are saying more undersandable, distortion is what is frying your subs, also called clipping an amp, square waves, ect ect. Every amp has it's limits from where it goes from clean power, to distorted power. It's just like you and me, even though we can only lift say 200 lbs, we will still try to lift 259 lbs right? Well an amp is the same, it doesn't have a governer. If you try to get 1200 watts out of a 1000 watt rms amp, it will try to do it, and in the process it will burn stuff up. So, learn to stay within the limits of the equipment that you own. Turn the bass boost off, turn the loud button off on your radio, set the crossover around 80-100 hz depending on your preference and don't jack the gain all the way up to give yourself some headroom. If you find that by setting your amp up properly like this doesn't give you the bass or volume you want, well, there's a simple answer, buy a bigger amp. Hope this helped. [/QUOTE]
