Blown 10w6

Im running one of these JL's off a 5 channel amp and usually have the bass in the rx8 set to 2 or 3.Today i opened up my trunk and to my suprise i saw black pieces of rubber layng on the amp.....it was bits and pieces of the sub, I dont see why this happened. Is this covered by the JL warranty or am i gonna have to pay for a new one? and even if i do replace it, wouldnt this happen again and again?what could i do?.

That's gonna be tough to push through under warranty.

what could be wrong.. did i push it to hard? i only went up to 19 on the volume lately and thats very loud but not enough to blow it i would think, so it must be the type of music that did it or just bad luck. a shop installed it so its under warranty, but im not sure if theyll just replace it for free after 5 months unless JL covers it
