[QUOTE="mikep123, post: 8348574, member: 664532"] Just bought a 12" Infinity Kappa. I wanted Sq more than SPL but still wanted something decently loud. I heard great reviews on the Kappas so I pulled the trigger. I bought a Hifonics Brutis 1100.1d at 450 watts @ 4 ohms. The Kappa is 350 Rms but am hearing all over that it can take more than that. So I have never touched the bass boost and kept the gain at 50-65% at the most and with rap songs I am getting this distortion, sound sort of a rattling sound when I turn it up. Its not the box or anything in the box because i took the speaker out to check and it was deff coming from the sub. I don't know if I was expecting too much or it is a defective speaker. Not that this is a good scale for performance but It wont even rattle the trunk. Any advice would be appreciated. Also I'm pretty sure I hooked it up well. 4 gauge kit its single coil so just match up the positive and negatives. Its in a 1 cubic ft sealed box like recommended. Thanks, Mike [/QUOTE]
