PG saying "too much power" is their nice way of saying "you dont know what you're doing."
they love customers like that. buy. blow. buy. blow. buy bigger

they have had that amp on them since may with no problems. I will say that I never run them full tilt except to show them off or take a vid

and I have had the woofers for a while.

so what you are saying is I don't know what I am doing?

Know the limit and have your settings to where it'll never reach the limit. Just slightly below or a comforatble level below the limit. It's healthy for your wallet.

Were you doing anything that you have never done with them at the time of failure?

IE, running them at the volume level you were at when they failed, for a longer than normal time frame?

which is exactly what this is....I have never heard them bottom out and/or hit the back plate. dimpling is the only thing indicating too much. the cones never get hot either.

my every day power is 30vac which calculates to ~450 per driver when the volume is up.

I turned it off because the enclosure is tuned @ 24hz

625wrms @ 24hz yields very little excursion

edit: the most excursion I have seen was in the lower 30's and below 15hz

Very dumb thread title, makes it sound liek you blew them, other than that the seem to be a good alternative to the dime a dozen Type Arghs.

Oh, I thought they were blown, so, nothing is wrong with them? They just dimpled?

Just to clarify,

This is not a "my woofers died and pg said too much power" thread. this is an I'm bored and felt like posting pics of the RSd mech. limits. A rep at PG wanted to know how much power I was feeding them and I told him. I received a phone call later that day stating that I was overpowering them and the warranty is void.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Ok, cool, just turn the SSF back on before you break the subs.
