[QUOTE="hispls, post: 6906982, member: 614752"] Dude, Mmats makes a very strong amp. There's very good odds that your amp is capable of well over the "rated" 1100W. I've personally got some beefier subs than the Q to smell funny with less powerful "1200W" amps. Also if you are clipping the amp the effective heat of the square waves you're feeding the subs is MUCH higher than a clean signal. Are you crossing over the sub properly? If you have the LPF set to high you're getting extra heat you don't need. If you only had one coil hooked up you'd probably smoke the sub, if you had it wired in parallel you'd probably smoke the amp. Were you playing things at moderate levels when these subs failed or were you cranking some bass heavy tracks? [/QUOTE]
