I did not buy the sub new. I bought it used from a guy in my town. I listened to it play in his truck. He pulled the sub right there on the spot, I handed him a $100 bill and went home. He told me 3 times it was a D4, turns out it was not a D4 it was a D2 but I do not blame him at all, I blame myself. I should have metered the sub before mounting it in a box. It is all my own fault but at least now I know what I did wrong and I can move on with a lesson learned the hard way.I would have to say a part of fault is the salesperson too. As in he should have known it was the incorrect one that he sold you. Just because it was marked on the box, doesn't necessarily mean that's the exact product in there. Sundown is really good about keeping things in check.....but in your situation, who knows.
Ah ok....still say he should have known. Or could be he didn't know but how could a person not know?I did not buy the sub new. I bought it used from a guy in my town.

As others have mentioned and helped me to understand I may have been clipping the sub too. I didn't think around 60% to 65% of the gain was to much but I now understand that it very well could have been and I may have clipped the Sub too. As I said, it is my own fault, I thought I knew more than I do about car audio but I guess I was wrong, I am, how ever, willing to learn.
