[QUOTE="brice15s, post: 8841445, member: 688602"] I'm just trying to trouble shoot to see what might be causing this. Could very well be the amp isnt as powerful as advertised. Im running 2 Skar EVL-15s, and a SIA 3500D, the subs are 1250w rms and the amp is rated for 3500w rms at 1Ohm. I have my subs currently wired at 1ohm (I think).. My double ported box isnt connected at all on the inside, and I didnt want to drill a hole. I have each sub at 2ohms at the box terminals. then I ran both powers and ground to my amp (amp as 2 power and 2 ground outputs). Im fairly certain that would be 1ohm. but anyways, with the system at 60-70% playing, I start get clipping around 35-40% of the gain knob. while my previous subs (two 750w rms 15s) could do just about the same. Am I missing something here? or am I just maxed out. I know gain knob isnt volume control, but I figured it would move up a little higher since the subs are almost 2x more powerful than the previous [/QUOTE]
