It was blown...

That is all it matters ...

It was not a DUD....

It worked for 3 weeks being overpowered...

Call sonic see what they will do for you... If they give you the option upgrade to W6v2 and send both w3s in for trade...

You have too much power and too much risk with the existing set up. Those subs are great subs, set up properly they will not get damaged easily.... We sell close to 200 W3 subs in the store with less then 0.5 percent defective rate... given they were matched and set up properly...

Like I said all it takes is one heavy bass note... Even though gains were adjusted low... not all recording levels are the same... if you had a cd or mp3 that was recorded at +3 or +6 dp above noise level, that is the same as doubling your gain...
