Blowing my subs

I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue I'm having.
I seem to get these large subs and small amps, but seem to blow them easy.
Like now I have two 2300w boss phantoms ported box and 600w ClassD Ditected amp. I just can't figure out why I keep blowing large subs.
Can someone please help me understand what I'm doing wrong.

Underdriving speakers can be just as if not more damaging than overdriving them

Re: Blowing my subs

What freq is the box ported to ? The subs are unloaded below the port freq and will blow easily if you play a lot of music with low tones.

That's the specs on the speaker itself, wanted to know what freq the port in the box is tuned to

Distortion and frequency will blow subs faster than anything
