ChevyBoy95 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Check for loose RCAs. What deck are you running? Sub level at 0, "lows" setting at 0. What do you have your gains set to on the amp? Is the bass boost turned up? RCA's are tight I have a Power Acoustik ptid-8940nrbt. The sub level is at 10/15. I have the bass setting at 3 on the deck. the gain is at 3/4 and the bass knob never goes more than half way up. bass should be on zero, no bass boost on the amp. and did you set the gain by ear?

Ya i did it by ear but it has been at the same level for at least 6 months idk why it would just decide to start sounding shitty Quote
bAsShEaD33 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Posted July 28, 2011 I checked all the wiring even the power and ground under the hood and everything looks to be in order. I hooked up one sub at a time and each sub sounded distorted individually. I think I may just listen to it as normal and hope its just a loss in backpressure from the trunk being open Quote

C-Fizzy Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Maybe they are slowly clipping to death. this. your subs have probably been slowly dying and are just now starting to sound blown. Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?
bAsShEaD33 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) man thats definetly not something I like to hear but sounds about right. . . guess its time to jump back in the subwoofer market Edited July 29, 2011 by bAsShEaD33 Quote
Torres Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 just about to say that. damage does not have to occur right away. plus, 'positioning' of a knob (volume, gain, etc) has nothing to do with the output of your amp. your bass knob being halfway up could have been what was killing them Quote

They are real decent for the price. Nothing but good reviews so far for what they are. What subs did you have?
