Hello Everyone,

I have a question for the installers out there. How often do subs blow and take the amp with them??

Common or not so common?

Thanks, Cousin Cleotis

Cousin -- I personally have never seen the two go together...it is usually one or the other...assuming everything is hooked up correctly, I would have to say the subs are gonna go first...If the amp blows before the subs, your subs will usually be fine unless it's like a power surge and "pops" your subs...but power surges are usually not a common problem...It is possible to blow the subs and not take the amp with it...I've seen it happen quite a few times! Hope this answers your question...
