[QUOTE="TheUnderFighter, post: 7902352, member: 631325"] Yea it's a big box, but he's got it on conservative power, so it shouldn't be that much of an issue. Yes, you're also tuned too low. But that shouldn't make the sub sound awful, that would just limit how high it can play. I think this comes down to settings. It sounds like you're clipping and distorting. I want to make sure your bass or EQ settings aren't cranked up or maxed? I want to make sure your Bass Boost is set to 0 or Flat at all times. Bass boost should only be used in rare situations where you've done a full RTA sweep in your car, and detect a specific drop in that frequency range due to design, install, and cabin. Even then, it is to be used very conservatively. I want to know where your LPF is set. And lastly, you need to set your gains PROPERLY, with a DMM. The gain knob position and eyeballing method does not count. Google "How to set gain with DMM" to learn how. [/QUOTE]
