a 600 watt BOSS amp blew a 1000 watt jbl, we all talkin peak here or what?
sounds like a case of under powering.
I aint gonna tell u what's goin on here or what to do cos i got a feelin ur gonna for what u want anyway.
just be sensible with the gain and let the sub run-in...not sure how long that'll take, it can varey.

You should buy an amp which is about 20% above the power rating of the sub, then turn down the gains. That amp is not sufficiant for the sub, you need something more powerful. That was also the problem your mate had, as he probably had the gains cranked right the hell up aswell.
