w3v2 amp?

[R_Rated]

How does not enough power blow a sub? I agree stupid people blow them by setting the gains way too high, or are dumb with the volume knob, but no one has ever blown a sub by not having enough power to it. Also a w3v2 will get to xmax well before you get to its RMS power. I believe it only takes about 200 watts in a JL reccomended sealed box. After you reach x-max, adding more power does very little to increase output.

Far more subs are blown with not enough power than too much power! The reason is, it takes ALOT of power in addition to the peak to push the cone out of the magnet and blow it.... but unhealthy distortion will blow a speaker in a heartbeat. People who underpower things and try to compensate with turning everything up will not get desired volume and WILL blow their subs... nomatter how badass the sub is.

Also, Just because your amp is 8x the power the sub needs does not mean you have to use it... My bass rig (for my bass guitar) has 8,ooo watts at 8ohms (will destroy ANY car audio "8Kwatts). i do not need but about 2,000 @ 8ohms but I keep the gain down, the amps do not have to work as hard, I have ample headroom and the bottom end is incredibly solid. Different application but same concept.

Not having enough power is the fastest and easiest way to blow a sub.
