[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 3081493, member: 549629"] A popping or clicking noise would indicate mechanical limits of the sub are being reached. This could happen by running the system too far below tuning, or by pushing too much power thru it. By the way you describe adjusting your gain, I suspect you are clipping your amp and outputting more power than you think. Another possibility is you are simply getting some tinsel slap. When I ran one of my xxx's sealed I would get it from time to time, on 500 watts. Stick a dmm on the amp and see if you are even in the ballpark as far as your gain setting. Then go from there. You cant fix the problem until you are sure what it is. Just replacing components (subs, amps, etc) until you are happy could turn into an inefficiently expensive method. [/QUOTE]
