Seek refund from vendor or dispute charge at visa/paypal... those would be my first actions.

No, your amp will not instantly clip. The point at which it clips depends on the efficiency of the speaker and the volume that you have selected (and also the input signal itself, as speaker efficiency typically varies with the frequency it is being asked to reproduce). You will cause your amp to clip when you select a level which your speaker requires more wattage to produce than your amp can deliver, as I wrote earlier. What, exactly, do you think causes clipping? Hint: it's that third item, which you gave "not a chance". |

Hmmm. whatta ya know. All these years I thought clipping was caused by overdriving the input gains on your amp.

Let's keep it on the topic... this member has a problem with a subwoofer and amp combo.... as a result he has a blown sub....
Sooooooooo, Did you call the vendor yet, and what happened. Did you get serial number on the back of the sub or on the packaging.

Sorry to hear that yours failed in such short time.. but I had a 10" sealed and 12" vented W3v3 setup in the past and they were wonderful, one of them was over driven past manufacturers limit for more than a year and still worked fine!

Thanks for all of the thread comments.
I guess the failure of the sub is probably due to a wiring error of 1ohm instead of being at 4ohms. The thing I'm still not getting is, the other JL sub I have is still working completely fine being wired at 1ohm, and doesn't sound like it's getting too much power whatsoever. My volume levels are still as low as they were when the 1 sub stopped working. If the wiring caused the subs to get wayyyyyy too much power, shouldn't they both be dead, instead of one being toast and the other working as good as new? This is why I think there's something defective with the one sub. |

a) Title of post
b) acknowledgement by OP that subs were wired wrong and received way too much power c) one sub failed, the other didn't d) Conclusion: since ONE sub did not fail, then the sub that failed must have been defective. ?????? Does this fail to make sense to anyone else or am I just having a bad day? |

Let's put it this way... If I put 2 brand new cars on the dyno and run them both at 2000 RPM over redline and one blows up before the other I can't really say that car was defective. It was being pushed beyond it's engineered limits. The other car just held out longer. Maybe the car that lasted longer was built a little better, maybe not.
