[QUOTE="crownvicdriver, post: 4015172, member: 585446"] My friend has just put in two cerwin vega strokers this weekend in his crown vic. The box is separate chambers 3.509 ft^3 per speaker tuned to 38.29 Hz. He got the box built at a local shop up here and I measured it when he got it out to check the tuning frequency and volume of the box. He had them in and played for about 20 minutes then we smelled voicecoil and smoke came out the ports and the speakers quit working. What could have made this happen? The speakers are rated at 2000 watts RMS EACH...... He has a 200 amp alternator, Hifonics brutus amp pushing the subs at 2600 RMS@1-ohm. The speakers have dual 4-ohm voice coils.
