[QUOTE="bigbangtheory, post: 2941987, member: 563177"] I have had some problems with this sub a while ago. Sent it to Fi cause I was getting a slapping noise and though maybe it was a tinsel lead sitting to close to the sub or what not but they said I blew it. Kicker was I wasnt giving it over 1000rms and never clipped it. So was beyond me. Got it back because Fi has awesome customer service and put it back in and just didnt sound right again. Was smooth, but not loud, then got loud and distorted to much. So took it out and put it in another box and still didnt sound right. Then gave up for awhile and sat in my room for a couple months just chilling and said I need some bump for the summer and put it back in my 1.5cft sealed box and retuned my system and sounds a shit ton better and keeps sounding better with time. I honeslty think they just need a lot of break in time. I have been tested on the TL at 138.4 off about 900rms with my electrical and sounds good. I did have to turn the amp down from half and is at a little over 1/4 because if I go half or past it distorts like crazy! Really thought I could have went a little more on the gain being my amp is only 1000rms, but sounds loud and clear now on everything from rap to alternative to older classic rock. Very happy with it. I wanted to go ported, but have baby on the way and need some trunk space. [/QUOTE]
