I just blew my second subwoofer in like 2 weeks... the first one lasted about 8 months, now my second one lasted a week... i got the same subwoofer both times. Could there be a screwup in my wires or something? or is it because this subwoofer came from walmart

by the way i have a rockford fosgate 200 watt amp powering it.

 

which rf amp do you have... you might be overpowering it.

 

200 watt amp on a 800 max watt sub... hmmm

 

i dont know if the 200 is max or rms.



iirc, youre supposed to match rms values

 

There's your problem right there.

 

12" Component Subwoofer with 800 Watts Max. Power

*
150 Watts Nominal Power
*
4-Ohm Single Voice Coil Design
*
Recommended Enclosure Use: 1.0 ~ 2.0 Cubic Feet


Problem found. Fix user.

 

If the rms is 150 it can handle 200. But then again it's a wal mart sub.

 

You can't just buy any woofer and amp and expect it to work right....there's factors you have to consider such as the right amp selection for a subwoofer, might overpower or underpower....is it a SVC or a DVC, do you wire it in series or in parallel, etc.....

 

No, it's a Pioneer sub, it just happens to be sold by walmart.

 

I'm out of ideas then I've done two or three systems that were runing over rms.
