what amp(s) sub(s) have you blown & how?


Recommended Posts

Pair of RF P1 10's

Pair of SI BM 10's reconed from jacob

Pair of PPI pro 104 10's

They were all clipped to death from a bad H/U sending clipped signal randomly so you never knew it was clipped till it was too late, sadly though i had to go through all of those and still wasn't able to find the cause till the h/u went bad and got a replacement, and have yet to blow another sub.

Alpine CDE 102 was the bane of my fucking existence for over a year.

PPI PC2600 went up in smoke due to age and pushing it to the limit.

PPI AM2150 Suffered the same fate as the pc2600, amps as old as they were just weren't able to take the abuse day after day like something new could.

I damage things long before I blow them:

1 power Acoustik FUBR - Drill went through surround

2 Addictive Audio Version 2 - Drill went through surround on both

1 Alpine MRV1000 - Was mounted inverted with circuit exposed/ glowing, took the plexi cover off to service the amp next to it, placed a box of screws on the box right above the amp, turned truck on, played some music, screws dropped, shorted the amp.

Blown 1 Coustic sub back in like 2002, gains all the way up. Finally learned some lessons since then.

audioque 2200 also known as the curse. amp works when it decides to and never has any high output anymore. just protects.

this is all after it blew up three times.

my fault, low voltage and shitty alt in my other car.

hifonics hfi 2000d, got real hot and cooked mosfets. replaced mosfets and it works.

never blown a sub. (guess i am just lucky)

Type R's, Cerwin Vega, JL W3's, Rockford Punch, etc....

Blew them all by being ignorant about clipping. Too much boosting eq crap lines. I didn't blow every sub, but in every setup, I messed up at least one sub from melting voice coils to...some other stupid crap.
