Well I built my box to 35hz, for what it's worth.

OK, thank you. What of the subsonic?

Yeah man that would make sense, lol. I guess I forgot to mention the fact that I was meaning all my songs with low bass can be turned up, but not my songs with higher pitch bass. I'm actually gonna go check later to see if the way I hook it up makes a difference lol.

Hey, I know this thread should go away, but I do have one final development in the deal. So I put the set up in my truck and played some music "King Kong in the Trunk" and it hit hard but didn't go into protect mode, even though I turned up the gain. It was like shaking the windows. But then...

What amp my alternator was running at. Honestly the idea that my car couldn't supply the power never crossed my mind. My family has one new car, and I might try hooking it up in there, lol.

How did you find that out? Also, how should I check voltage drop?

OK, thank you. I do understand. So to sum it up, I'm just severely underpowering my subwoofer, and that power I'm getting is from clipping?

So I've learned, regarding the gain. It's a DVC 4-ohm, so basically I have no choice but to wire to 2-ohm. And, how would I be lacking sufficient power? What do you mean about that? Also, what could be causing the clipping? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for replying. The Kenwood had some pre-built crap. My car is a 1982 BMW E21 320i. I have the basic powerful setting on me HU, nothing bass boosted or anything. My box is tuned to 35Hz. I am taking a guess to where it needs to be, by putting it right below the point where it goes into...

Hello guys, My friend "donated" me an amp (Kicker DX1000.1) he thought was broken (he was stupid and later realized that he had blown his speakers by getting them stuck against a backpack...), and I ran a cheapo Kenwood 430w 4ohm sub on it for about a year. Recently, I decided I needed an...
