you turn the volume up. it gets louder until a certain spot then it stops getting louder and starts sounding bad... hmm, whats that sound like guys? clipping maybe?

seriously? no one figured that out the second they read it? he's clipping.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

If i'm clipping then it means i'm running outta of power on my amp, so that would mean one of two things? either i dont have enough electrical power for my amp to produce enough power or the amp is just shit, without being able to upgrade my alternator don't have many options do i?

could be the gain or bass boost on the amp. could be the HU clipping from the volume, bass boost, loudness, sub level, etc.

If its 10,000 rms (which i doubt) then you need a shit load of electrical a h/o being a must multiple batts but it would blow ur woofers w/ that power. Dont turn that gain up past 50%-65% b/c clipping will most likely be introduced and dont turn the hu volume up real high either

Dude I'm not a professional or anything, but to me it just seems like that amp sucks horribly bad, I'm talking like boss status! Seriously, it's Max power is like 60,000 watts, and RMS is 10,000 watts with a 2awg power input!? Like seriously, go look at the site he linked and you'll see the problem, it's a fucking shitty amp man, no offense. And not only did I think that from the very first post, but as you keep examining the problem it's just seeming more and more obvious. And all this dudes are like "hmm I don't think it does rated?" well fucking duh it doesn't!!!!!!!! With 2ga power inputs

so far...

I thought it might be the amp so i borrowed a friends SoundStream STL1.1200D, 700W Rms at 2ohms into one sub, but it dosent sound any better.

Heres a link to a screenshot i did on Torres Calculator
