[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8678034, member: 675210"] Heat is ALWAYS a factor. However, if the gain is not set properly and bass enhancements are used like "loudness" "Bass Boost" "Bass EQ" and the like, it will add crap tons of distortion and will melt coils pretty fast... even if under powered. Speaking of which... I'd run at least a 1200w amp on that pair. Gains properly set of course. If your ground is bad, the amp may not be getting enough power to send to the subs and could be sending a distorted signal which may blow them as well. This is the ground block I use... makes pretty good contact and I have never had an issue. The brand I use is Fierce. I am sure there are other brands. If all else fails, you can run a cable right back to the negative terminal on the battery. [/QUOTE]
