Hey,

I'm currently a lvl 70 enu looking for an english speaking guild on the blair server

We have been running a setup of 2 Gsub-like models, loaded with 2*eighteensound 18lw2600 per cab. Running an admark ad42 one channel (4R) per subwoofer.

The admark specs say 7500W/4R

The eighteensound woofers want to take at least 3000W per woofer.

We've been running this setup at 41db gain on the admark, full open, for over 2 years. No problems at all.

Last weekend, we ran the same setup, with an extra sub, and an extra ad42 (using only ch1).

We blew at least 4 out of 6 of our subwoofers (smoke coming out of the cabinets) and I can't figure out what we did wrong?

The amps were running smooth, and the bass never sounded distorted or at max capacity. Untill they just started smoking out of nowhere...

Any ideas what I might have done wrong?

Edit: admark specs say 1/4th max power = 170V/23A, I think we were playing at maximum at 1/2 max power
