[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8310553, member: 650438"] use a -6db 45hz test tone. -3 db is too weak and 60hz is not what the box is tuned for man. How do you know your head unit is distorting? Are you testing it with an O-scope? Sounds like you might be having your mids and highs distorting. Go to the EQ and lower all other frequencies besides bass. As always you have to ALWAYS worry about clipping. Max gain = overdriven amp no matter how you look at it. Most headunits need their volume knobs up really high in order to have proper output. If those dont work then the best solution for you is either get another sundown 10" d4 in the future and wire em down to 1 ohm. Or if you want to stick with a single sub, Try to trade it for a D2. For future references man, if you only want a single sub setup, get a D2 man, make the most out of your power. Hell, I do half ohm runs on my brutus amps daily and they are fine. They dont do the 2400 rated but they are **** close, they arent garbage amps man, take a little time doing a little bit more tuning. [/QUOTE]
