Ok, I was setting up for a sound competition for tonight, just doing a test run for a big competition in the city on the 1st, and well about 10-15 mins into running, I go to pop my hatchback and I am greeted with deafining rattles...(I blew my left sub) this is the second set of MTX's I've went through in the past year, I'm running all Apline Type R inside(which are always kickin some nice beats), but the MTX's aren't holding out on the low end... the 6000;s are nice, but they can't take much abuse for lon periods of time. I don't want to go with 8000's because they are too power hungry. I don't want to add a crazy new set of 12's, that will make my system sound like all bass. I like the way it sounds now, it's all evened out, but the subs just can't handle the power. what should I run with? right now I'm running a mono 6500D amp pushing the 2 6000 12's. I want something that will take abuse, will sound just as good or better, and is not power hungry.
I have 1000w cap, and I'm about to get my altenator rebuilt with a high performance coil, so I'm not afraid to try something new, I just don't want to take away from the overall suond quality. Please give me some input guys, I need to get this together before the 1st of June, so I can win some money to get the exterior and engine work done to my car...

Get JL 12W3 and you should be very happy. They don't require that powerful of an amp and can take a beating for long periods of time. The Kicker amps that I had in my car over heated but the subs never gave me a problem. I hit 158.6 DB with four JL 12W3s and two Kicker Impulse Amps (300 watts each). Unforunately my system got stolen.
