Subwoofer durability? Options

[FreddyTheOthaMea...]

So I dont know if its just bad sales reps selling me whatever they want or whatever but it seems like i rip thru subwoofers really fast (either the VC blows or with my infinity subwoofers the wire that connects to the spider on the cone actually physically seperates) what would yall suggest for a 1000 watt (MAX) amp (kenwood excelon) ? I was rockin 2 12" eclipse titanium subs that just blew after about a year and a half of use/abuse which is the longest ive ever made any subs last. they would usually blow after a couple of weeks and then the sales rep would act like i went out of my way to destroy it when i would try to get it replaced.

Dude, read the woofers requirements and only give it that much. otherwise you'll continue to plow thru them. I've had some b.s. no name brands last for years when powed properly, but when you BLAST the power to them, you'll eat thru em like skittles.

Trust me, i figured this out back when i thought more power=better, and 1500W and took out 2 12's, then wired up a single ten untill i could afford more 12's... you should have seen that cone fly
