@ethan1215...I wasn’t saying that’s what happened in your case. Just stating that, from lots of experience.
I’m sure in your situation, the age of the speakers played the biggest part.
I want to also add, that when you increase any frequency range, (Bass, Mid, Treble, etc.) AND turn up the volume, you run the chance of over-driving that specific frequency range. So maybe the amp was okay, but with the added increase in bass, you might have caused the driver to over extend.
