Square waves into a round sub= Burnt coils.

so normal rounded sine waves on a l7=burnt coil

What Im saying is...the shape of the cone has nothing to do with a square sine wave

Yes contact Kickers tech department and they will tell you this is true!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

so those hexagonal subs from sony should stand up to just about anything

Now you've got it. Are coils a hexagonal shape as well as the sub?

this might benefit some people

this shows you what clipping sounds like

Bass boost may or may not be a terrible thing to use, depending on the type the manufacturer implemented. A simple bass boost that alters the signal to artificially boost the signal strength is bad (leads to premature clipping). But many of the bass knobs these days simply control your gain setting on the amp, with the knob's highest position being the max gain setting you have set manually on the amp itself. This means the bass knob will never allow you to clip your amp, unless you simply set the gains wrong initially to allow it. Its not a bass 'boost' in the true sense of the word, its actually an atenuation knob.

The latter type of bass knob is perfectly acceptable to use, wont hurt a thing.

That box looks a lot better. Turn your bass boost off and keep the gain below half and your Head unit below 75% volume, the bass down on that as well. Should knock for a while now.

This may be my humble country bumpkin opinion, but wouldn't it be best if yew were to put sum insulation down so that ol trunk DIDDN'T vibrate but produced a clear, clean, sound? I'm, bettin from mah knowhow in physics that that there trunk smackin up an down is probably absorbin a big chunk o energy from them speakers.

Don't think trunk open had anything to do with it unless it was in a IB setup. Polo..

Newer amps implement what would be called a remote gain attenuator, it is capable of reducing the gain from the master setting, knob on amp. Now if you look there is in fact a bass boost knob next to that one on the amp which introduces usually up +18db/octave boost centered around a standard 40hz. Now using the knob to control the gain is totally acceptable in fact I recommend it especially for trained ears for reducing on certain recordings. Adding to much of the introduced 40hz bass boost will indeed cause clipping and should be avoided at all costs. Just go to the bass boost knob on your amp and place it at zero. Polo..

I thought I had already described the difference between the two types of 'bass knobs' sufficiently. But more info always helps.
