underpowering a sub does not blow it. People that dont properly set gains, go crazy with the volume knob and add bass boost blow subs. Clipping the amp and/or head unit is why subs are mostly blown.
i know all bout clipping and agree. but clipping can be induced faster if the amp is plain not able to push the wattage the large sub needs.
