[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8702316, member: 654802"] They should be okay at 500 watts a piece. First turn volume down at radio, then with the power off, disconnect the bass knob. Turn on radio and see if distortion is still present. Without the knob, the amp should return to full volume which will be controlled by the radio output. If clean, your knob or cable will likely be the culprit. If dirty, connect other subs if possible to test the amp. If other subs sound dirty, the amp is the issue. If the other subs sound clean, your subs will be the issue. Test each sub individually to see if both messed up. Also make sure you have 4awg all around. Clean bare metal ground, and snug connections. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
