hey guys, im currently running a 10" MTX 8500 series sub with a JL Audio 500/1 amp, in a Pro Box. Its already pretty loud, but i dont think the sub would last that much longer, i was listening to a couple songs on the the way home from work and when i was a block or two away from my house i smelled something funny, went home and popped my trunk and the smell was coming from the sub, the cone was pretty warm from only 10mins of music and i had the volume at 14 on my alpine headunit. The sub is rated 500watts rms, and thats what the amp put out or a little more, but i didnt know it could heat up that much. Im looking to sticking to a 10" sub if possible since the box wasnt cheap. I listen to rap/hip-hop a lot of the time, gorilla zoe, gucci man, slim thug, ect. I know the box isnt that great but i dont want to get a new box small budget, so im guessing a 10" fi q would be good for me? im looking some something loud but also hit the lows really well. also will it be fine if i run a q or bl with a jl 500/1? i know it isnt alot but its really all my electrical can take before upgrading wires from 4awg. any suggestions will help, i just want to see what my options are. this is the box i currently have the 10" mtx 8500 in: http://proboxrocks.com/products/unloaded/superbass/110SPB/index.shtml
