Problems...Blowing speakers

[Monte75]

Ok, this is my problem. Im running four 12" L7 kickers in a wall behind the 2nd seats in my jeep grand cherokee. They hit real hard , 157 was the best mark. but after short runs of normal music or otherwise the subs get hot and you get the burnt plastic smell.they are ran by a pair of orion 2500ds. could the problem be too much power? Ive blown 4 so far. Im thinking about new subs, not quite sure what to get though. Solo Xs maybe. The thing is this is my daily driver I want it to be loud and sound good. Currently building an spl car with two solo x 18s. just stuck on this L7 thing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yea man Turn your gains down. Even if your gains (high pass filter) are set high your subs may move more and create "more" sound however, the voice coils will be under more stress and wont have time too cool off. thus the burning smell

My thoughts exactly, so I guess I'll just go ahead and raise it

Well thats the problem he starts work on the 18th. And he keeps saying hes going but he wont give dates. I havent heard any advertising either. I think hes upset he doesnt have anything to put in it.

EDIT: Sorry for the hijacking of this thread.
