So the way you are running it is potentialy 900 watts per sub... All it takes is one heavy bass note at that kind of power to fry a sub that is rated at 300 watts nominal power with a peak rating of 500 in the red zone.

Hifonics also does not have the best specs and control over your subwoofer which does not help the matters...

Now next question, what is the internal volume for each chamber of the enclosure?



Their both single 2 ohm woofers, so were not running at 1 ohms were running at 4 ohms. So even at full tilt he would only be giving each sub 275

Correction I think you are right wicked, I wired it at 1 ohm not 4, although I think he is still not pushing 800 watts or near it with the gain almost fully down.
