[QUOTE="95stroked1500, post: 2281996, member: 569805"] sometimes things just happen. bass boost cranked all the way up with the gain set were it was is not good imo. at full tilt your settings are going to be trying to make that amp put out way more than it is capable of. i'm surprised the subs didn't smoke. gain cranked + bass boost cranked 12db is not good. 12db boost is an enormous electrical increase. elecrically, every 3db you tell the amp to increase is double the power. start at 100w go 3db to 200w. 3 db more to 400w, 3 more to 800w. next thing you know things are being killed from being overdriven.
