blown speakers

4Dblu... the sub simply cannot handle the lower hertz drops. Don't ask it to. Expensive subs will handle the 18 to 20 hz much better. All sub's will handle 25 and up no problem. The better the sub's amplifer and the bigger the driver's magnet, the better, really. Also, subwoofer specs are never at RMS anymore. In other words, when you see a sub's specs say, 'handles 800 watts'... that's not really true. That's peak - but nothing runs consistantly at peak. That 800 watt sub is more like 100 watts at constant (RMS). That's why you never see RMS after the wattage on subs anymore. It's very misleading.
