Is the RF amp a Mono amp, or Mono Block by chance? Whats the impedance?

If it has multiple channels, did you bridge it? If the sub is a 4 ohm, and your amp is a 2 ohm then you overpowered it. Walmart -> Take that shiz back!

 

cheaper subs have lower tolerances :dunno:


we dont know if he was blasting his music at peak or not

we dont know if he wired it up right or not.

Under powering is as bad as over powering

Just because a sub is capable of running 150 watts doesn't mean you should run 150. In fact a lot of that depends on if you are running clean power or dirty power. My guess is since you are going cheap all around is that you have no crossover to clean the signal up so you are most likely cranking up the gains on the amp and running it straight to the sub. Also most likely is that you are running it full range into the sub and causing even more damage.

Do some research into how to run clean power and what RMS ratings actually mean before you do something dumb for a third time

 

Mmm the smell of blown subwoofers!
Does the cone of the woofer move at all when you push on it?

 

i thought the title said "hooker" intsead

 

A little overpowering is a good thing, but I would go over maybe 20-25 watts over.
