Voice coils

[Big Reazon 10+ year member]

Alright I got a box in my truck it is 2.25 cubic feet including the port according to car toys and tuned at 32. I have a 12w7 in this box. I was powering it with a pdx1000.1. I recently bought a jl slash 1000.1v2 (something like that). My w7s kept burning voice coils. What could be the problem that the w7 need the power at 3 ohms and the amp plays at 2 and 4. Is it because the box is to small. Would poly fill help? The box cost me 700 bucks and it looks life a center console so no one knows where my sub is so I rather not get a new one. Do you think if I used the jl1000 I would stop burning up my voice coils. Is it that my gains are too high on the pdx.1000. I have a bass knob that I use allot depending on what I'm listening to like music or watching movies. The head unit I have is the avic z2. So could someone fill me in n the voice coils burning out and if the jl1000 would be a better amp since I have both.

Yeah the box was made to look like a factory center console. It has vinyl on the sides and a separate vinyl top. Its ported through the rear the sub is also out the rear. It has the factory cup holder panel integrated in so(factory cup holders) in it. But would either amp be better.
