[QUOTE="jam3so3, post: 8278938, member: 659710"] first off i have 2 audiopipe apcl 15001d's bridged at 2 ohms on 4 obsidian audio 15 v3's, they are d4's in a 14cu.ft box tuned to 33hz. my problem is that i tuned my amps with an oscilloscope on a 100 and a 40hz 0db test tone, my receiver clipps the sub out at volume 36, so i tuned the amps at volume 28. the amplifier clipps sooner at 40hz and the max clean output i was getting was 57v AC @ 19a and wired to 2 ohms (idk about box rise). the problem is that it is not loud at the clean tuning settings when i play music now, also they are not moving very much on music. in order for me to make the subs loud and moving a good amount i need to have the amp clipping. is there anything i could possibly have done wrong? or is it just my amps, i know that audiopipe amps can get real dirty to make power and accept that that may be my problem. if its the amps i would like to buy a different more suitable one. as usual i dont have a huge budget, so im limited on what i can get. let me know what you think and if u have any amplifier reccomendations. thanks MISC: i have a 250A alternator, 2 optima yellow tops and KNU 1/0 ofc for big three.
