@shredder2 @Jeffdachef @fithwheel Sorry to ask, but I think I'm starting to understand things a bit better. I just wanted clarification I'm understanding correctly. So concerning the clipping issue I have, I was wondering how my subs could be clipping despite only recieving half of their RMS...

Thank you for the suggestion. I think I'll save my money and for a bigger amp and a DSP. Do you have any thoughts on that amp I posted? It's for sell. But I dont know if I should go with that, at 2000 watts, or go with a 3000 to 4000 watt amp? 

Yeah so this is the pic of the guy who I might buy it from. I would definitely have to place my subs in the box, not outward like he has them. Here is what I got now. What would you say now after seeing both?

This is the one I'm considering. What's your thoughts? Its tuned to 35 hz 

Hey maybe you could read my post I just made and give some input as well? I'll have to use a dsp since a new deck is not really possible. I'll look around but thanks for the advice. I'll check out the alpine and Dayton units. I had 1 other question. Is any sub able to be wired to different ohms...

Hey so heres what I'm dealing with in my head unit so I'm guessing, I'll need to go with a DSP (Do you have any good suggestions?). Also thank you for the suggestion with the wiring. Definitley want to save any dime I can. Sorry to keep asking questions but I found a guy selling these subs and...

No I feel you.  I'm just grateful to be learning and from you guys sharing your knowledge! But by source signal do you mean like my deck? If so, I'm using my stock radio. Impalas have a very difficult touch screen/radio to work with but I do have a 6 or 8 volt LOC hooked up to it. And yeah I do...

K I know the gain is different from volume.  I dont know why that was even brought up. But yeah i dont think I understood clipping so if you see my post before this I was trying to clarify it and think I got it.  The reason I brought up volume is because someone said I'm listening to loud and...

Seriously thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. K so im going to look at some of those amps.  Am I allowed to ask a good place to find a quality amp like that? And also do you mind me asking what box rise is? I'll go search myself but you've made everything pretty easy to understand for...

Oh shoot okay that makes more sense now.  You're exactly right,  I've always thought that clipping originates from the subs. whereas basically you're saying when im turning up my speakers and trying to get more output,  my subs are asking for tons of power but my amplifier is not capable of...

So I am running at 2 ohms. But heres where 8m still confused, despite getting responses to this question, but my jl rd1000.1 has a light that shows when you're clipping and they are still clipping despite only receiving half their RMS power... I dont get how or why that's happening... 

@PPVtahoe11 I'm gonna do some electrical upgrades like big 3 as suggested by Dylanbeatz. But I'm definitely willing to look into a new box... problem is I dont know **** about how to make them. Is there anyone here whod be able to give me specs on how to make a box to those specs? Also they are...

Thank you for advice. I'm thinking I'll do at least a big 3 upgrade and the stuff @Dylan Beatz suggested. I posted this question to him as well but I have an opportunity to get 2 sundown x v2 15's for about 480. I know that would definitely require big electrical upgrades but what you think...

Hey sorry for the delayed response. I had 2 immediate family members pass within 2 days about 2 weeks ago and been struggling and busy with that. Figured coming here and getting my mind off that might help.... but yeah so I got my box from a local shop. Just asked for specs and they said they...

Thank you a ton for that chart! I knew what clipping was but didnt really understand what it is... if that makes sense? That really helped me understand! Thank you. So even if a sub has an RMS of say 1500 and your only giving it 900, you could still end up clipping?  But yeah SPL is what I'm...
