i was driving to school today and i heard a few thump/ pops... a minute later i had NO BASS.... im in the middle of fibeglassing my trunk so as of right now theres a layer of masking tape on top of the grill covers.. would that be a cause of them to blow? music was played for about 5 minutes.... system is a 500.1 jl amp and 2 10w6v2's... my friend said the amp might be too strong and te 500.1 was designed for w7's but i dont buy that... any suggestions/recomendations on what to do?

 

You need to check all your wiring first. It is possible that you dont have a good ground or some of you wires could be arcing. You also need to have your amp dialed in corretly. Make sure that you are not beating up those subs past distortion.

JL amps are not the greatest for heat resistance and sustained beating

 

the 500/1 is actually a little underpowered for those w6's benny. check your fuse, what rating fuse are you using. what gauge wire are you using.

mstyles, what alpines are you using.........

 

HUH?

 

okay pretty gay... the problem was the tape over the sub grills... there was no air for them to escape... lol...

 

You mean you had the entire speaker covered?

 

well yes... lol i was bondoing over it so i covered it..... (when i was playing my music i didnt realize i had the tape still on... then when i looked and saw i had the tape on it didnt cross my mind that it was the tape since the first 5 minutes of the car ride played perfectly....
