[QUOTE="Morrob99, post: 8498589, member: 669809"] So I seem to have a burning smell and I can tell I'm clipping a bit at higher volumes. I'm not sure I have the sub wired properly to the amp I'm using. My understanding is I'll want to wire this sub (HDS208) [URL="http://www.soundqubed.com/HDS208_p_245.html"]HDS208[/URL] to 2 ohms and it'll take 600 watts rms. The amp I'm using is the alpine v 500 [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Alpine-MRP-M500-Monoblock-Power-Amplifier/dp/B001E1NB1Y"]Alpine[/URL] The alpine states that it can do 500 watts at 2 ohms. Is this too much for the subwoofer? I was wondering if the subwoofers 600watt rms is at 1 ohm. And I've been doing a ton of reading and I can't seem to figure out my problem... Thank you very much for any help. Side note; This is my setup [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WXxRoz3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YudIetZ.jpg[/IMG] Also, the box might not be the best for this sub.
