marc Silver Member Username: Van_man Boston South, MA Post Number: 960 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Thursday, September 21, 2006 - 14:23 GMT Sure its the sub and not the amp. 500 watts to a W7 is nothing. and if it was wired a a low load it may have just smoked the amp. Just a thought.

Go much higher and you void the warranty by overpowering it. Look at the JL recommended power chart.
Isaac W. Gold Member Username: Alias747 MN Post Number: 1353 Registered: Apr-05	Posted on Thursday, September 21, 2006 - 17:50 GMT ^^^ Yeah the power chart was what I was refering to Glass. But, as soon as he said he was only using a 500w RF, I knew he was clipping the hell out of that thing! lol
