My amp is 500watts max, and 250watts rms.
Well, thats what it says all over the place, so thats what I have been thinking.
It turns out it is only 250watt rms @ 2ohms.
Well, I looked at the fine print, and it actually bumps up to 500watts rms when @ 4 ohms.
So since all the subs I have gotten have all been 4 ohms. So, if I would have run 2 subs at 4ohms each, then i would have been good for 250watts rms.
But since I ran a single 4ohm sub, i was sending a constant 500 watts to a sub that was only supposed to handle 400 watts max (kenwood), 150watts rms (kicker) and 200 watts rms (dual).
So its no wonder they kept blowing out.
