Serious Issues With Polk Subs

Hey guys,
I need some serious help. This sub has been nothing but trouble for me. I ordered the Polk Momo MM12 Sub from sounddomain. They shipped it to me and the driver was dead on arrival. So I returned the thing, and they replaced the driver. They sent the sub back to me, and I hooked the thing up. I am running a Kenwood KAC 7201 amp. This puts out 460 watts bridged. Should be fine for the sub. I set the gain to about 1/3 of its max power. I turned the bass almost all the way down on the head unit. I was not using any bass boost. THe head unit has a seperate volume control for the subs, and I kept that at about 50-75%. I was sitting in traffic today, and all the sudden i smelt burning. Then the subs shut off. I guess the coil burnt out. It still hits, but with barely no bass at all. Theyre going to replace the drivers again, but I dont want to go through all this again. Do you guys have any suggestion on how to set this damn thing!?!?!
Thanks!

That's a pretty strong little amp. I think I'm running a similar model to two 12" Infinity Kappas, it hits very hard.
I think the root problem is that the MM12 is overrated at 500w continous (should probably be more like 300w continuous).
Two MM12's would probably be better for that amp, or go with a smaller amp.
That's my .02,
