[QUOTE="WobbleWompum, post: 8701748, member: 679355"] So I just blew a 10" sub and replaced it today, and while dropping it in I figured I would retune my amp which is a rockford fosgate p1000x5. I used the CD and it didn't clip with the sub input setting maxed out (how it was before this dilemma). But then when I played a song it started clipping like crazy and the subs sounded off. It would hit like they used to except when the bass would kick it was really wobbly and distorted, and obviously was clipping a lot. Turning down the sub input, I got it to not clip but it barely hits and does not sound anything like it used to. My best guess is that the amp is going out but I'm unsure and I don't want to buy another amp if there is another potential solution. I also don't want to keep messing with it and potentially blow any of my other speakers currently. Any help would be great! Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
