i can only think its coming from the sub idk though

If its a new sub, it wil do that. its just the glue melting. most new subs do it. no worries.

Hold on you're running a two channel amp into a dual voice coil sub?

Um someone correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe that is a bad idea.

Umm you should have that amp bridged on that sub . Your basically sending that subs voicecoil a stereo signal
