[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8868913, member: 689267"] Well, that's a pretty general term. if you only get this with a particualr genre or source, might consider that as the culprit. Electro-mechanical issues will show up in almost all situations, not specific to one genre, unless you're gains are at the tipping point to begin with and when playing bass heavy music you finally push it into clipping. I'm a proponent of getting amplifiers that are usually double the rated power of the subs used, allows you to dial them back and run the subs at potentially their the full RMS, cleanly. That particular DD amplifier has a pretty low damping factor if that rating is at 4 ohms, it doesn't specify. That would mean at 1 ohm, you could potentially see a factor of around 30-50, pretty low. Use of small subs in smallish box, will cause greater impedance rise (as opposed to a set of 12's in a large ported box) thereby negating some of the power your have onhand. I think that while it may not be the issue (it could be), you'd be better off with a STINGER Audio MT10001 ($140) or MT1500 ($160) from Amazon, gains tuned down a bit, allowing for you to run at 1 ohm with headroom to spare which you likely don't have.
