[QUOTE="shiftless, post: 1414202, member: 565735"] ok, i just finished hooking up my sub. It's a Kenwood Typhoon 10" 700W (max) and the amp is a bridged (600W max) pyramid. i built a box that is just over 1 cuft (between 1.1 and 1.2). on suspended bass notes, it's flawless. but on the bass drum hits, it's wierd. It makes a sort of "whoop" sound. I did the tuning by turning my head unit as loud as i would ever listen to and then adjusted the amp until i got distortion and then turned it down. only problem is after all the distortion was gone, i was pretty much at the same place as where i started. It almost seems like it's clipping but i don't think it is cause the amp can't put out that much power. I don't know what to do. A friend said that sometimes if the box is too big, it will "bottom out" on hard hits. the bass is nice untill the punch comes on every bass drum hit, it makes that horrid sound and i want to kill myself. after messing with it i got it where i though it was good. when i turned it off, i couldn't tell that it was even on before. I'm pretty sure that four 6x9s wired in series shouldn't over power a 700w sub.... I listen to rock mostly which is why i chose the 10" because of the fast hitting action and a sealed box cause i didn't want a lot of deep base. what's going on with my stuff? [/QUOTE]
