Default I fried my kicker cvr

the other day I smelled something burning and now the sub rattles. I did the math and the amp was pushing 960 watts max. Now i'm looking for a cvx.

Why not look for something better?

What kind of amp are you running 960 watts with, im surprised the CVR lasted that long with over 900 watts being sent to it.

runninga Duel amp. the amp is rated 460 peak at 4 ohm[sm=headbang.gif]I calculated wrong its 920 watts peak @ 2 ohm. If you know of a louder 12" round sub with more spl output please tell me about it. I want to get the best bang for the buck

in that calculation did you include an ILS factor?

If Lightning Strikes?

The way dual rates their amp they use a high DLS factor meaning that they will make the rated power, if lightning strikes it for that .11113 secs it will put out that 920 watts.......

You blow subs more often by not putting enough ofclean powerto it rather then putting too much power.

ILS is the most fundamental rating system for poor quality equipment.

That amp would make a couple thousandwatts peak following ILS.

so I blew the sub because the amp puts out bad sound quality
