Well, how exactly do you say that if a sub can only run at 300RMS it will ONLY run at 300RMS. If you are pushing more power though it won't it increase it. I mean I know being an engineer, you can spec something at say 25,000lb forces, but in reality it can withstand 40,000lb .. So obviously...

Also, will a capacitor help reduce clipping if i overdrive the amp? So basically clipping comes from the amp side not the drivers side?

Sub is dual 4 ohm, im running it to the amp at 2 ohms. I checked the resistance with the DMM as well. Between 1.7 and 2.2 it eventually evened out at like 1.9ish to 2.1 but ne way. I just don't understand. What exactly causes clipping. The sub quality? or what? Because I have read ppl...

Please don't hijack the thread. I don't know what kind of ears you have, but they are awesome bc With my mirrors shacking, my trunk lid buzzing, i can't distinguish it.

I see, well the box is properly setup for this sub. I mean it sounds really good, but not as loud as when i did it by ear. My gain on the amp is not even at the half way point. I just don't get why or how it puts out that much power without the gain being up, even tho it is only rated at...

How do you hear distortion with the car vibrating? but ne way, if anyone can confirm that thats as far as i can push this sub please let me know. Like can i not put any bass boost on it once i set the voltage?

Well my amp is an this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-cd8RFeScFZv/p_108R5350A/Infinity-Reference-5350a.html Now, I should turn down the bass boost and unplug the bass control from the camp as well? Will turning up the bass boost not increase the wattage going to the sub? I tuned this with the...

Ok, I have an amp that supposivly is supposed to put out 300 watts at 2 ohms. I have an IA 187 12 inch that at 2 ohms is a 300RMS watt sub. I used to turn the gain up and just blast it shook my car like mad, was sweet. Then I figured today, I would put it at its proper level. if math is...

ok, I just want to make sure because I'm thinking that one coil might get more power now than the other due to the way i have it wired. I don't really wanna take my sub off the front of my box but if i have to i will.

Ok, I used this. http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/1DVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg buut I realized after i put the box together, that i mixed up the Positive terminals. So instead of the positive far left going to the amp, the positive far right does. If you...

well, I'm not entirely sure what speakers are in the door. I measured and they seem to be around the 6 inch mark. But What exactly do you measure? I mean I could take them out, and look but i would have to take the panel off.

So in essence, I need something along these lines> http://cgi.ebay.com/INFINITY-KAPPA-60-9cs-6-5-CAR-AUDIO-COMPONENT-SYSTEM_W0QQitemZ300318995375QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Speakers?hash=item45ec6833af&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_1632wt_910 So what I understand is that I shouldn't bother getting...

Ok, I'm looking to get some infinity kappa Full Range 6.5inchers for my grand am gt. I also have to put the tweeters in the top front corner of the door. How would I go about wiring this.(I searched but couldn't quite find what I was looking for) I am using a 5350a Amp from Infinity. So i...
