subwoofer distortion help meee

This may be true, but it still doesn't explain why you're hearing noise. But that noise could be due to gains too high originally thinking it should be louder.

Keep us posted on this. I'm curious to know what the issue is..

It's a possibility.

I will. It'll be a couple weeks until I can actually get out there, but probably not too long.

oh heres one more thing tho. before i had the 750.1 on my old kicke subs i had the 400.1 because i had even weaker kickers. when i had my kickers on the 400 and i swithched over to the 750 the distortion sound got worse and i remeber when i first got the 750 i didnt have the gain up too high

well IIRC he has 2 threads ( i could be wrong) on 2 sites or this 1 (I cant remember), and he wasnt sure on the ohm load IIRC. but either way those prefab boxes **** ballz! lolz

im sure its probably just how i have it all tuned. but like i said the only reason it doesnt seem right to me is because if i keep my lows at zero and the gains low the subs are so quiet and im pretty sure they shouldnt be so quiet

Not sure what this could mean, maybe the subs are damaged. Bad box. Bad amp.

We'll pinpoint the problem if we meet.

It almost sounds like you are feeding noise from your deck. You could very well have bad RCA's. Is there anyway you can snag an extra set and plug them in without removing anything? Grounding problem with the RCA's....

see i knew he had kicker subs lolz

he tried an ipod already direct into the amp

ha yea i should probably build my own.. if you remove the sub from the box while its playing how should it sound distortion wise tho? because i get the same sound from it

Could be. If he can't find out on his own I could def check this out.
