I had my new new type rs in a ported box for a week then i switched to one 10 in a sealed box ( for space reasons, im driving coast to coast) anyways now my sub makes almost a poping noise when i turn up the volume but when i turn the bass down a lil it goes away.. why is that

the amp pushing it is a mrd 1005 gains set at .03

Im going to tell you that I think you have the gain WAY TO HIGH. I have mine set at 2.5 with Type R 15 running at 2 ohm @ 47volts. Did you do you set the gain with a dmm? Btw, what you described to me means you blew one of the coils.

popping doesnt mean you blew one of the coils...my old L7's did it once ina while...means you have TOO MUCH POWER on them...bottoming out is a bish. lower your gains.

okay ... if i put my amp to 2.5 at 12 volts i wont even hear bass from the sub my sub isnt ****ed up is it ?

Very true. But ill tell you right now, im with Custel on this one. Hes clipping like a mufugah

You may need to run 1.5...Let put it this way, on my HU (alpine) at 20/35 volume I dont really hear the sub that much. Thats what you are looking for...If you get what i mean.. You should def check out the gain setting tut.

why are you only at 12v?

 

[fcivc24 10+ year member]

why are you only at 12v?

dont know for im sure its a lil higher then that but the amp says its at 12 volts 70 percent of the time ...

The volt meter on the amp isnt always totally accurate.

Depends on how much voltage his preouts on his HU is on justifying how high his gain should be set on the amp. Some of you may be running 6.5 volt preouts, to where he is running 2 volt preouts.
