Strange occurrence today...
WotW @ about 21:45 (during pod emergence) has some sub-sonics that put both of my 12" Rythmiks into protect at the same time, they are not hot at all, not even warm. This happens with my AVR at -12 so not really pushing them but the BFD does show a RED clip at that scene for a very brief moment (my understanding is this was ok but I guess the Rythmik amps are more sensitive to this, none of my other subs shut off during this scene). This is very odd because I have pushed these subs at reference with plenty of material but never had this happen. This scene just must be too low and too strong, although I played HTTYD with no problems and that has been reported to have content down to 2-3 Hz. The subs are calibrated almost perfectly flat and sound phenomenal no matter what I throw at them, these are using the older 300w servo amps. The system is calibrated about as perfect as it can be in my problematic room and I spent hours on the subs to get them 'just right'. Any idea's other than turn it down or lower the AVR LFE out, hehe. I have pushed these to +4 with some other material (BASS heavy music) and never had even one of them shut off (even when they were pretty warm).
Even the mighty lightning strikes don't exhibit this behavior at reference level and they send the RED light blinking on the BFD as well.
Anybody else had this happen?

WotW = "War of the Worlds" SE DVD with the DTS 5.1 track (this is not a full bit rate DTS track so I am wondering if maybe the blu ray of WotW would clean this up and prevent it... a reach I know
)
HTTYD = "How to Train Your Dragon" Blu Ray with TrueHD 5.1 track
WotW played via PowerDVD 10 on my HTPC
