Hey all,
I am currently trying to power two earthquake sws8xi subs (150w rms 300w max) in my 2011 3 series. I was running a jl 500/1d amp originally at 2 ohm and it sounded like **** so I bridged it to 4 ohm, the drivers side sub was getting crazy hot but sounded great.
I purchased a rockford p300x2 amp rated at 150w rms at 2 ohms, however it came in at 225w per channel rms. I hooked it up and my subs dont even play, they make this strange popping sound (im assuming this is what “clipping” is?) at volume above 1/4. They play when it is very low. Are they simply overpowered? The hell is going on?
