I got a dual 2ohm 10" Alpine type S (900watts peak), with a 800(peak) watt kenwood amp (Last years model). It recently smoked the sub at normal playing levels. The gains were set minimally as was frequency with the bass boost on (12db). The guys at the shop i bought everything at didnt know what could of caused it (Everything was properly adjusted and installed), any ideas?

I kept blowing my alpine amp and sending it back for warranty. My problem was the heat. I couldn't get cool air in my trunk, and during the summer it was probably 150 degrees in there. I switched to fosgate, and that solved the problem.
