[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8194491, member: 650438"] might want to rent out an oscilloscope and set the gains and head unit correctly. here's a general guide line For the Head unit LPF to 80, sub level close to max, Bass/bass boost at 0, Equalization at flat For the amp, have LPF at 80, subsonic filter at 20-30, bass boost all the way down you should check out whats the highest volume your head unit can go up to without distorting/clipping on the oscope then use a 50 hz test tone to set amp gains make sure its clean on oscilloscope. I dont see why a 500 rms alpine type S would blow from its rated power without some heavy clipping issues. I would make sure you set things right before throwing that Sundown in with the same settings. They are tough subs but any sub is susceptible to clipping. [/QUOTE]
