medley123 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 So I tried inverting my sub woofer today to see how it would look and when I was playing songs, I can hear this click noise when the bass hits. I don't believe its clipping because I tuned it with an O-Scope and I've been running it that way for 4 months now and it has sounded fine. When I listened closely, it sounded like it was coming from the coils or something. I didn't hear it before since the motor was in the box but when I inverted it, I was able to hear it. Anyone have any clue as to what may be causing the problem/is it normal? My power is on the opposite side of the car of the RCA's. The amp is an AQ1200d and the sub is an AA Havoc.

412 CVX Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 well if the sound is subtle, then the box probably masked it, which would explain why you didn't hear it when it was inverted. if i were to take a wild guess, and i could be way off here, but it sounds like you've got something in the gap.
