[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8487188, member: 650438"] Next time use a builder that uses birch or birch ply. Its literally half the weight of MDF and is stronger than MDF. You need to lower your gain even more, have the sub sonic filter at 75% of box tuning so your box is tuned to 32hz, subsonic = 24hz If you are getting ridiculous slapping noises then either something is wrong with the amp right out of the box (happened with a 4480.1 hybrid i had back then) OR your box is tuned much MUCH higher than you expected and its causing the subwoofer to unload. OR there is something wrong with your subwoofer's suspension and cannot handle the excursion of the lower notes. Loudness should not affect the turning on of either amps on the system. It just boosts the bass so you hit harder at a lower volume or it makes up for songs that have zero bass in the recording like oldies rock. Have it off and use your volume knob to turn up much higher to 80% of your max volume and reset the gain again properly. I know you feel like you've been through a lot and everyone on this forum has their own journeys too, however most of these guys are big league competitors with 4 18s and 20,000 watts RMS with multiple Alternators, custom door panels, digital sound processors ETC... doing 160 dbs. Along with guys with small 8s that destroy most people's dual 15 setups. We all keep up on amplifier knowledge and info and sorry to say that vfl hybrid is pretty trash because of how bad the quality control in their factory is. I myself and a few others got burned from buying that amp. There's experience and then there's knowledge. There's making a mistake and learning from it and there's doing the job right the first time and not wasting any time or money from making that mistake. People are open to help you if you put out the time and effort to at least put a video on youtube showing them what that noise is and we can easily diagnose what the issue is with the slapping noise you have.
