Cause your NF level is to high or its jsut he sub is a piece of crap. Which is why I got a new sub which will be here on wednesday. YAY!
Basically it's because the sub is a piece of crap. It's damn near impossible to set the NF too high (for one thing)...it's actually setting the bass boost and and those other faux EQ settings too high that'll cause the distortion. The NF level is just a volume knob. Now...if the gains on the amp are set too high and the LPF is off, then you've gotta fix those, but your bass eq and bass bost shuld both be set to zero. The NF can then be used as a volume control for the sub. If it's still blowing (mind you this sub is underpowered because of how Kenwood made the set-up) then it's because the sub is a POS...those are my independant findings. 
Listen to Servo, he's right.
They also have a tinsel lead failure problem which is a contruction issue but mostly its improper setup and people thinking an 8" should be loud and they have no ear for distortion.
Distortion is mostly what is killing the subs.
