Hey guys im new here and im a well experience 17yr old, i have been installing and buying/seelling car audio since 14yrs old.

Any ways, i was recently getting ready to put a lift on my jeep so i can fit 20s with 32inch off road tires. BUT my  my 2 12" punch hx2s blew, i had a punch 7002 running 350 watt to each sub at 2ohms. and now one is distorting at low volume really bad and the other is dead.

I looked at the comp vrs and i have past experince with them and they are great subs, but i think ill blow those too with that amp and that last set was my second set of hx2s so im done with those. What subs are recomended for a good price and will match or beat the PUNCH HX2s

Don't touch the Kickers. For that kind of power, I'd go with Adire Shiva, JL W6v2, Eclipse Aluminum.... Something like that. The Shivas especially are VERY well priced.

Make sure you're not clipping with that amp, btw.

Damn, I have had my HX2s for over 4 years now and still haven't blown one, running of a power bd1000. How experienced are you?

I've run lesser subs harder than that without blowing any? My guess is improper install. Were you running those in a ported enclosure without a subsonic filter?

I would guess that to be the cause, just don't want you to have to replace again. You need to filter out those subsonic frequencies on ported enclosures.
