mclass subs aren't designed for 400wrms daily. although in the proper enclosure, with gains set right, they might live for awhie. my guess is they were overdriven to the point of failure. that sub making noise is toast. smoking coil isn't a good thing.

time for stronger subs.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thats what i told him i checked his gains they werent set overly high but the amp was doing alot more than the subs could handle after i did some research

Smoked 'em, that's it. Tell him to be nicer to his next set.

lol thats what i figured i told him he needed to step up a lil but the amp was actually putting around 500 to each sub i told him to step up to m3s what yall think?
