[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8713375, member: 650438"] yes its too much amp if you blindly max out the output. You need to find out where the sub is happy gain settings wise. You dont need to use all that power, its good to have some on tap so that you never clip your signal. Check on the subwoofer cone for heat regularly and continue lowering the gain or sub level if its burning hot or smelly. if its room temperature or just very slightly warm with zero coil smell even after a long pound session, you are at a good spot. Also get an in dash voltmeter, set the gains so your voltage stay above 12.0v its like 20 bucks on amazon for a stinger voltmeter. connect the positive and negative to your amp directly so you see what voltages the amp sees in real time. As stated earlier throw that prefab box away and build a real box. Those prefabs are choking your L7s that need literally double the size for any kind of real bass, otherwise you are literally getting 40% performance from that sub at best. Like no lie, an L7 in proper box and only 500 watts would smoke your current prefab box setup on that cxa 2.4k [/QUOTE]
