Remote wire splice
#22
took it back to the store and got a refund. Got a sony woofer instead and noticed it had more to it than the pioneer. Wired it up and instantly noticed that it was hitting harder at the same settings then the pioneer was. Played it for a half hour and all was good. Sounds pretty good for a stock HU.

well i got everything hooked up and ready to go. Everything is getting power. Line converter is in place. The woofer was thumping pretty good but not super hard hitting for 1,000 watts bridged. After about 5 min. the woofer fried.....dead. I'm running a pioneer 12" woofer rated at 1,200 watts and my amp is a kenwood excelon rated at 1,000 max. Correct me if i'm wrong but, I dont think the sub should have been even close to exploding. Also used a sealed box. Any suggestions before I replace it just to fry another one?
^^ most subs should be "broken in" before played hard. Which is probably why what happened happened. Play it at low volumes and slowly increase the volume over time. This can take up to 2 weeks to do properly. Basically the coils are stiff and need to be loosed. When I got my RE Audio MT 15" it was so stiff the cone wouldn't move. Took about 20hrs over 2 weeks to get it broken in so it was "more loose"
