You're gonna have to give a little more info for us to be able to trouble shoot issues for ya. What size wire, how do you have everything wired up, how did you set your amp gains... ect.

 
I suspect they are blowing because they are complete garbage and the amp isn't far behind. Like buying a pair of 40$ work boots. You'll go through 8 pair of them before I wear out my 200$ pair.

There is nothing you or we can do to make that amp put out anything close to clean and rated power, and even assuming you give the subs clean power they likely have about a 30% failure rate right out of the box.

 
My guess is your clipping them to death without knowing anything except your setup is very bad. Are you sure its set up right? Is your gain all the way up and bass boost to?

Also how do you have them wired to your amp? Are they bridged?

 
iv read that those sub are really rated at about 500rms an you should definitely have someone with experience set your amp shouldn't cost that much

 
How are your subs wired? If they're wired 2 ohms to each channel you should be alright. It would be giving the subs maybe 250-300 a pc. The 15's are garbage but they should be alright at that low of a wattage.

You do know how to wire subs correct? If you have them wired together they're either at 8 ohm or at 1 ohm and that amp will take a shit quick at 1 ohm.

 
You have your gains set wrong. As long as you use your equipment within it's mechanical limits it will be fine for you, but if you try to use it outside those limits then you will have problems.

These numbers make me laugh a lil. Most likely your gain is set too high, and you probably have the bass boost cranked as well.

Additinally, no need to reference "max" anything as those specs are useless. Most of know how to look at specs for a given speaker, amp, HU, etc...

If they had an orange basket I would have to buy them.... Hmmmm Sell my 4 Xs and get 6 of those and do no-wall again with one more 4500..... :unsure:

That’s the little single 6.5 inch enclosure. The Savard did just as well as the RDS. These subs do well in ported or 6th orders but not as well...
