[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8197148, member: 650438"] i agree with the knob being garbage. Most knobs i come across always induces some form of distortion even if its the volume/gain knob. I always get a cleaner, louder signal without the knob in the system. OP when you go to the shop, make sure they use an Oscilloscope or an SMD-DD1 to tune your system if possible. Make sure your head unit's equalization is set to flat, Bass is at 0, subwoofer level is at max or close to max, LPF at 80. You could have been clipping the signal with your head unit, or your amp's settings or BOTH. Read up on clipping in detail so you learn how to avoid it. Because 2 L7s is a hefty price tag for a lesson learnt. Also buy better subs then kickers... they are pretty weak in the durability department. [/QUOTE]
