Why did my sub blow?

ah ok so it was an attenuator then

The uneducated use it as a bass boost but it's not meant for that. Just like an amplifier's gain isn't a volume knob.

Then they compared it to a O-Scoped and was light, "I think the O-Scope is wrong?" Lol

O really... They electrical wave we see on the screen must be in error...

What a great product!

When I saw that I was like, "No he didn't!?" Lol Although his O-scope was pretty old, IMO. Lol

so the 500w sub took 1k for about 20hrs. whats the problem? the question is not why? but when? and you got the answer. also agree with the clipped signal theory explained.

1000 watts for a 10 inch Type R is a lot man, just because a sub is rated to take 1000 watts RMS that doesn't mean it'll take that all day without overheating. I've pounded a pair of Eclipse SW9122s a few hours to the point where I can't even touch the magnet cause it'll burn my hands, I can only imagine how hot the coil was.

Also get someone to set your bass EQ/output level/gain on your deck AND the amp when you buy new subs.

How about a type R sub reallly simply can't handle 1000W long term thermal power.
