Audio question?¿
normally im pretty good figuring things out but i want some second opinions. I had my sub cranked loud the other day to some heavy heavy bass song and i was watching the sub saw it pretty much stop from almost 3 inch excurssion instantly and just barley move as if the amp was clipping.
Turned it down waited a bit thinking the amp over heated and turned it up worked a bit then just died later found all my 4 fusses had blown. replaced those and the sub seems to be working fine still hits hard but not as hard as i remember any suggestions, also faint burning smell out of my port but i could be wrong.
equipment is 12 type x rated 3000max 1000rms hooked up to my pdx m10 whish is rated at 1000W vbut says its putting in the range of 1300 hooked to my 1800 kenetik battery i nthe trunk and my 4 chnl and spekers are fine so any suggetions? the sub never popped or reached maximum excurssion for the cone so i dunno it should be ok id think.
thanks

I have read that the alpine subs will cut the coil off from the power if you overheat them.
It could be that the subs are not getting enough airflow to cool themselves down, and they shutdown due to the heat, or you are over driving them, and causing damage to the coils.
Either way I would turn back the gain on your amp, and like Vivid said, make sure the amp is not clipping.
