OK ...i SEE YOUR AMP DOESN'T HAVE FULL RANGE...so you have to always use the built in crossover on the amp...try moving your RCA's to the rear outputs from your deck...instead of sub out put ... .then make sure you turn off the hpf in the deck and try that...set the amp crossover at 90-100hz...subsonic at 25hz

Call DD. Each sub is tested 3 times before it leaves DD. Sounds like it got handled rough in shipping or something. It would not have left DD like that

Wow, I have that same issue with my 1508's. I'd just assumed I'd burned the VC's because to be honest, I beat the **** out of them with no loading wall just to see what they'd do. I was about to send them back to DD to be reconed since I've got my loading wall setup now.

HOWEVER, I just noticed you're also running the Pioneer 4100DVD. I'm going to move the RCA's to my rear output as well, to see if it makes a difference. I doubt it will, knowing what I put those subs through, but you never know. What you described is exactly the sound I heard. Like the dust caps were rattling or something. Only when you turn it up loud.

Dunno if y'all care, but I'll post the results this afternoon.

the cause of all the problems lie at fault of the box designer mobeious. the sub works wonderful in a properly designed enclosure. stay away from mobeious designs theyll fuk yo chit up!!

How can you tell the difference between setting your lpf at 25hz or 30hz

i mean there's no markings on the amps.
