[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8526411, member: 650438"] Yup you are expecting way too much out of them. What you think is X amount of power could very well be already past clipping especially playing bass enhanced music which can EASILY drive you past clipping. The gain knob at 70% doesnt mean 700 watts.... Also That amp is not an amp that makes rated power. I've owned one, its bleh at best. You can take the sub out and free air test to see if its actually the sub or the box thats making the noise but i'm completely certain you are overdriving the amp and sub especially with that song you've listed which has clipped basslines inherently in the recording.
