wmrcs Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Yea well I know it's the sub. At first I thought it was super hard roof flex but then I can turn it down and put my head on the cone and hear the clipping like hollow/harmonic sound. and the sub is broken in. with ~1200 rms in ~7 cubes..

Dangrebel Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Free air it at 20hz at about full excursion( 2.5 in-3 in) and listen and look at it. I had one make a noise like that free air but when I put it on the box it went away Quote 1999 GMC Yukon, 6 PSI platform 5 18's, 4th order bandpass by BHE, Taramps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... 49 414

I had one make a noise like that free air but when I put it on the box it went away Okay I'll do that tomorrow. I'm also going to try it with another amp and RCA's to see if one of those is the problem.

wmrcs Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Got new RCA's today and the noise is still there. It might just be my brain but I think it's a little bit quieter though...hmm. I'm going to test it tomorrow with NIkitaaa's amp and hopefully will be sending my amp back under warranty unless it's something whack with the sub...which would suck.
