RANT... Blown subs

[AFSP1211]

Title says it all. I was on the way to a buddies house listening to some tunes and all of a sudden... nothing but mids and highs. When I got back home I tore out my interior to check all the wires. Nothing was loose or disconnected. Unscrewed the subs from the box an immediately smelled burnt electronics. Both my pioneer shallow mounts are toasted. IDK why. I drove 1800 miles in 2 days with them pounding, but not crazy, then a week and a half later they go to crap. Funny thing is... I wasn't listening to rap with crazy bass or anything like that. Just a Korn CD.
Anyone know a good brand for shallow mounts???

You probably have the gain set too high, bass turned up too high, or too big of an amp or too small of an amp. The most common problem I see is someone cranking the bass up to get more when in reality you are making it sound worse and putting more strain on the subs.

Boston has some shallow mounts but any shallow mount woofer is more limited in power than a reg. sub. How many watts RMS is your amp puttin out and at which OHM level? I have charts and settings that I use so this does not become a problem.

Not sure exactly what the setup is. I'll grab some pics and maybe one of you more knowledgable fellas can tell me what I got.

Only problems I have seen with subs is from mismatched amp-sub combos.
