[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8455285, member: 650438"] Forcing the amp to make more power than it can actually make and overstressing the amp can easily distort the signal going to the subs. The reason why the type R blew is purely user error based not overpowering. Basically you expected more output than the amount of power you had could give and you overdrove the amp which distorted the signal it sends to the sub which causes the sub to build more heat and eventually die. If you had more power overhead with a bigger amp, you wouldnt need to drive the amp as hard and the signal would be clean. This is why most of us overpower our subs, we dont need to push it to the max and stress the amp while ensuring we get maximal output and our subs stay cool and do not blow. A clean signal generates way less heat than a clipped signal. [/QUOTE]
