[QUOTE="AudioFanatic, post: 1407478, member: 562956"] I installed 2 12" alpine type s's for my friend the other day and i had also built the box at 3.0 cuft which is recommended for ported enclosures and when we turned them on one of the subs gave off a sound that sounded like a clapping noise similar to a wood clap when you blow a seal in a box We have no idea what the problem is and its especially confusing because it only happened to one sub... the weird thing is is that the sound started to go away but the otehr sub started making the clapping noise... when we called alpine customer care they said that it could be one of three things 1 the box is too big (but the box was built to the recommended volume) 2 We turned them up too loud to begin with (i had the amp down all the way when we turned them on and turned it up only a quarter of the way when the first sub started making the noise) or 3 they were messed up when they were origionally purchased If anyone has any ideas please let me know [/QUOTE]
