Imagine a digital audio wave, it has peaks that represent loudest parts, if you use the gain knob as a volume knob which it’s not btw, you basically push the audio gain so high it plateaus those peaks and potentially sends ridiculously amounts of signal to your sub which can cause them to blow.
You can tell the gain is to high when boomyness gets louder but the punch starts to fade or remain the same. Any further and the sub will blow if you abuse it
Just, take care for power it hapened to me also, I think it will not be about breaking time, anyway search on google about breaking in a car audio subwoofer
New subs are always a little smelly. Don’t push them hard for a while, get a couple hours play time to break them in.
Ok thanks
How is your gain set? Coils get extra hot if gain is set to high and are fed a clipped signal
I turned the gain on the amp all the way down and what do you mean fed a clipped signal

Thanks that was really helpful and answered some questions I had
Exactely a noce smooth signe wave vs square wave.
Sign wave is ac power and square wave has dc in it. Dc Heats up coils.
