Problems. Help please

[Gbob2003 10+ year member]

So recently my subs started making a popping noise at higher volumes. They start to move a lot then the amp just goes into protect. Its kind of like the noise that RCA cables make right when you plug them into the amp from the deck but I have tried re wiring the subs thinking it may be a loose connection, it wasnt. Tried making sure the RCA's were snug behind the deck and on the amp, the were. I honestly am running out of things to try and nothing is getting solved. They will play fine at lower volumes but when turned up past like 15 they start that crazy moving and popping. Any helps appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like they are either dropping out or getting too much power

Its never happened before. Now I cant even hardly turn them on anymore.

Not to mention that i had them set the way they were for almost a month now and this just started happening yesterday randomly.

It is possible the suspension has loosened up and they are bottoming out now. I have it happen to mids all of the time.

That's because the woofers are broke in now bottoming out. Or dropping out same thing the box is too big to play the note that woofers are trying to play

Too much heat being created by the woofers

So how am I supposed to fix that. Its really annoying having my subs shut off every 3 seconds.

build a new box

and turning down your gain never hurts..

disable any "bass boost" etc on your headunit..

make sure you have a subsonic filter if your box is ported.. and have it set appropriately.

you shoving too much power to the subs,making them bottom out,,,they have met theyre excursion point...turn it down,or get a set of more powerful subs,and rebuild the box if needed
