If thats the case, he's probably clipping them to hell cause it's not loud enough for him and he just frying amps.

Op get some good subs, a good amp and a custom box built and you would be happy.

Skar has a package deal for two skar vvx 12s + a custom ported box for like $390 shipped. I have two 10s and they do some work!

they're not offering that deal anymore the package is hella expensive now... That was for like a month or two. I could be wrong though just going by what CA.com said.

You need to find out what ohms the subs are and how they are wired. They could be wired too low of a load for the amp to handle and that is why you are frying them. Take DMM, set it to ohms and connect the leads to the terminal leads on the box and see what it reads.



Dude, don't post if you don't know what you are talking about. Underpowering a subwoofer WILL NEVER damage equipment unless there is user error involved, including setting the gains too high and clipping the subs to hell, giving the amp poor voltage, just a poor install...etc

Anybody that says they damaged equipment due to underpowering should be slapped for saying something so retarded.


here are the subs i have
