I had bought a set of Infinity reference 6x9" 100Watt RMS 300Watt Peak - and ran these off a prety grim amp which was 100Watt per channel - after a little time at high volume both speakers have died - main cone doesnt move at all. Has anyone else had problems liek this or any idea what i shoudl do before i chuck another set of 6x9" on there?

maybe clipped the amp which sent an electrical signal to the speakers and fried the voice coil, i personally have had my infinity 6x9 for a real long time hooked up to an amp for about 5 months so far and havent had a single problem with them, i did though turn the bass down a little on the amp so the speakers only receive the midbass.
go with a better amp and take notice of how much distortion comes from the woofer and if you have to: TURN IT DOWN anyone knows you cant run major bass off of smaller speakers |

turn down the gain on the amp.
it was clipping and causing distortion which caused the voice coils to overheat and fry.
gain is not a volume knob. higher isn't better.
