[QUOTE="req, post: 921030, member: 555713"] dude, classic case of clipping. your bassboost should NEVER EVER be 'turned all the way up' - unless you are trying to see what will break first; amp or sub. bassboost is to be use SPARINGLY, or not at all - PERIOD. it introduces noise, and it sends square waves (aka clipped signals) to the sub, and does not let it cool properly, and raises the power exponentionally (harming the amplifier, and the speaker). also, playing notes below ~35hz (in your box) is not a good idea, because it will case the speaker to bottom out - and even break. set your gain according to THIS TUTORIAL! and stop using your gain\level\basboost\boost\whatever as volume - or your shit WILL break.
