I Have a Kicker L7 (Dual 4 ohm 1500peak), A kicker 750zx Amp (1500peak). A aftermath head unit. A .5 farad cap. and a rather small vented box.
My sub has broken 4x now. I keep getting new ones form my dealer. Everytime it stops working the voice coils are reading ohms at 16 ohms instead of 4 like it should be. I have put new and good wire through everything and i wire it properly everyttime.
What could the problem be? can the box be to small? or can the cap. not big enough? what is causing this?

Turning your gains and bass boost up too high will do this. Do your lights dim at night when your playing it loud?

Sounds like you have been clipping the hell out of that amp.

Did the dealer install your system, or did you?
