a speaker is not blown by distortion, or underpowering. A speaker is blown by mechanical or thermal failure, usually while its clipping. While it's clipping, it is emitting distortion, but that is not what is damaging the speaker. Also, distorting is caused by other things, not just speaker clipping.

Distortion can be caused by the amp its connected to, the x-over, or the materials the speaker is made of reaching their limit, or the source music/sound also.

what kind of enclosure do you have for the subs?
