well maybe you are sending too much powaaaa

or your box is terrible! what kind of box, did you build a new box for each sub!?

Two different vehicles. 10's and 12's in different enclosures lol

have you thought about maybe the dd1 WAS working properly and the amp is just bad in general if the distortion light was on always?

you can easily test this by hooking the dd1 up to the back of your headunit and testing for clipping there, just to make sure that the light doesn't always stay on. and if you hook it up to the amp after and it just stays on, the amp is junk.

I was using it on a different vehicle this past weekend, and in the middle of that, the DD-1 distortion light was on. I've tested it with 4 different head units, and 5 different amps. It is def a DD-1 problem.

i gotcha man. once you get the replacement, definitely test it on the headunit first to see if its a good replacement, then test it on the amp.

Johnny, youn have one or more of four problems-

1. person operating the system is driving a clipped signal to the amp = sub gets burned

2. amp is crap and is being driven past it's ability to reproduce the clean signal it is getting=output is clipped=sub gets burnt

3. voltage and/or current at the amp is below operating parameters= Clipping=sub gets burnt

4. enclosure is grossly inadequate - person is driving the system beyond it's operating parameters= sub gets burnt

edit-

5. ambient temperature is WAY too high=normal operation of the amp/sub combo simply pushes the sub past the thermal tolerances

*** had this happen in a system with everything in the trunk, even witrh fans it smoked a weak sub***

I will check voltage drop and ground resistance at the amplifier. I'm about to toss this thing.

I should have just bought another amp several woofers ago, but with shelves full of speakers I just do the quick easy thing and stick something else in there lol.
