[QUOTE="WillisMyName, post: 8765097, member: 682431"] After realizing that the clip light is more just indicating a spike in voltage demand rather than looking at the actual wavelengths I also realized that I was far to worried about the "clip" when at the bass peak in songs. I've never heard my sub audibly clip. For my box, I just recently finished building the new one with my friend. While it is not the exact box design sundown has on their site for the sub, it is built to spec in terms of displacement, volume, depth, port size, etc. It was really hard for me to wrap my head around it being my first box. The biggest issue I had was designing one that fit in my trunk with a MAX of 15" height and 14" sliding in with the back seats out and cutting about half an inch of metal off. However we managed and got it in and didn't even have to take the spare tire out and build some crazy odd shaped box. I can't imagine how that would have went lol. I forgot to mention yesterday afternoon I rewired my sub from 1ohm to 2. I really feel like this helped and was possibly a big issue. My amp, 2000d, is 2000rms at 1ohm and my sub is only 1500rms and I believe the amps will push that constant wattage regardless of the gain setting though I'm not positive on that. I can say though it does sound better now at 2ohms and certainly doesn't sound like its hitting less hard. [/QUOTE]
