[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8766980, member: 591582"] I wondered this by the way that read to me. OP, have you checked the ohm load of each sub individually after they're wired in series? You may check and see that and maybe even read each voice coil independently on each sub to make sure you don't have a bad coil. This can be an issue. It usually takes a really bad design for this to happen. You could have one sub that's unloading way more than the other, or you could have a sub that's not moving properly compared to the other due to the box design. OP, post up a pic of your box, if you want, and we can see if that could be a potential issue. OP, do you monitor what voltage your amp is seeing when you're bumping hard? You may be getting low voltage to the amp, and that's usually the quickest way to burn a sub's voice coils up. [/QUOTE]
