No offence OP, but i have thrown double rms to a cheap walmart pioneer, made the coil smack the back plate. Never got smelly. I had properly set gains and i'm just saying that from my experience a very large portion of the time coil failure is from clipping. Their are some guys who obviously do overpower and melt coils, but usually that is because the soft parts just cant keep up and the cooling mechanism loses efficiency and the coil overheats, or they are running 4X or more rms to their drivers and then of course they fail.

But you arent really overpowering your sub.

They were intentionally trying to blow that sub. Those are the old models and considering the abuse he just put those through in free air, it kind of makes it look like you are the problem and not the sub.

Yes you can blow a sub while using a low wattage amplifier

A clipped signal or sine wave basically microwaves the voice coil and gets it so hot that shit breaks

Especially cheap shit

My HU is a pioneer 45wattx4(15wx4 RMS) and when i had my Rockford

gain ANYWHERE UNDER 3/4 it was ABSOLUTLY unacceptable! as for producing bass,

No matter where i adjusted bass/settings on headunit,amp/X-over,there was NO

cab filling bass a 15" should be doing. This is the 1st sub i ever burned out

,and if my gain was to high then

i'm "glad i cooked it" ..

I'm sorry for your loss. Since it didn't bass to your likings, maybe a purchase for a sub that would have done the job properly, with a gain that was set correctly, would perhaps have better suited you.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
