[QUOTE="clickclickw00t, post: 7870295, member: 644171"] NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER... ever... ever..... run your headunit at max anything, unless its like a P99-RS or something super-high end. The signal you were sending your amp was not just probably, but DEFINITELY clipping with your head unit at max bass, and volume at 3/4. As a general rule I usually don't boost anything on the headunit by more than 2, and thats when its COMPLETELY necessary. Buy a new sub (those alpines are cheap) and start over. Also, make sure the music you are listening to is good quality. Youtube rips will blow your sub (i've seen it happen). Pay for or download HIGH quality files. the best way to get good sound is with a CD (not a burned one, but an original one). If you are using Youtube rips, and you have your bass set to max on the headunit, you're literally taking a **** on your woofer (and amp). [/QUOTE]
