I got a SClass Shallow mount (15-SC12D4) and had it wired to a sony 800w amp (RMS around 250) for about 2 months but then a few days ago I got a JL e1400d mono amp rated at 500RMS which is exactly what the Memphis sub is rated at. I had it wired to 2ohm based off this diagram:
I checked and double checked wiring and it is right:
...and local stereo shop tuned the amp to these settings:
When I told them I wasn't happy they said it sounded like the sub was under powered so they ordered one of the new memphis line amps and I was going to stop by there Tuesday but last night while sitting in the parking lot of my job I was video taping the voltage drop I get to post that to another thread when all of a sudden...BAM...sub smoked. Smoke was every where.....
Start video at 1:35, sub fries at 2:19

Any suggestion? Would the JL really bake this sub? Is it possible the sub was just a lemon? I have 0 gauge running from battery on a 150amp fuse to dis block, 4 gauge going from disto block to JL amp.
