We need a little more info. How about your setup. What kind and size of box, what amp are you or were you using. What head unit do you have. A lot of factors involved.

did you call about the warranty on the RF's? cuz they will replace anything you can blow, i blew my power hx2 like 3 times and i got 2 new ones, the last time it was not under warranty.

But you are probably clipping your amp and its making your voice coil overheat in turn blowing up your woofer.....lol

Not always the case Maxx, but mostly :-)

Also, sounds like a classic case of clipping! Let me guess, your headlights dim a lot while bumping?

You need a new alternator, and a good deep cycle battery (yellow top or a kinetik). Otherwise watch the volume knob and don't turn it up high enough that your electrical system dips. (Which is unfortunately the boat I am in as of now, waiting till I get a new car before I get that new alt.)
