[QUOTE="BOOMINGRANDPA, post: 8619814, member: 671921"] depends on box 'm gonna be honest man theres a ton of refurb kickers subs everywhere i take that to mean the pop a lot.. that said the main reason peeps blow subs in general is because the under power them and set gain to high use bass boost and clip/distort the sub.. in ported box there's a thing called "box rise" thats y u will see peeps on here run like 3krms to 8" subs basically bigger the box the more box rise so u think u running amp at 1 ohm but when subs move alot u really at best getting 2 ohm power to the subs.. i had 930rms to 1 $75 pioneer 3003 rated at 600rms no problems at all.. so if my subs needed 800rms i'd look for a 1ohm stable amp that does a min of 1k maybe 1500 if u may upgrade subs (or 1 better sub) later u just set gain low don't use any bass boost on hu or amp.. there's a video of how to set gain with meter and 50hz tone it's very easy.. my amp would be perfect for u but they discontinued it.. so tell me where u sending amp back to and what $ u will have for amp and i'll see what they have if u doing a trade..
