A high resistance on the ground return of the amp or a fatal flaw in the design of the amp that is just coming to light. This does happen, I fried 7 Crossfire mono sub amps in one afternoon before my distributor agreed that there must be a design flaw.

Yea I agree with forbidden... there very well maybe a design flaw. That is not uncommon in the world of mobile audio.

Good lord, for the sake of people that might be interested in helping, please the take time to construct proper sentences.
I also agree with Jeff. I'd take back all the 6x9's. You have a nice start to a sytem with the head unit and PCE 216's. It would be a bit of a shame to wreck the situation with all those 6x9's.
