Fosgste T-165's handle 70 watts RMS

JL Audio C2's handle 60 watts RMS

The Fosgate PBR300x2 puts out 100 watts per channel RMS at 4 ohms.

If you have your gains set too high, have it set to All Pass, your AVC set too high, or any combination of those three scenarios, you will easily overpower either speaker you have had problems with.

EDIT: I would try a set of Biketronics 7.1" speakers. You won't overpower those.

Gains are set too high......... distortion kills speakers long before clean power...
