Sub clipping/turning off help


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I have tuned my sub to 40Hz using ear and I have a good ear. I have set it just before distortion and same with the Low Pass. I have gone over numerous sites and they all say use 40hz. But when I am jamming to music (rock/rap/EDM/Decaf) on any note around 30hz it clips yet it won't clip on a 5Hz -25hz note. I am wondering what your help would be. Gain is set right 0 bass boost and Low Pass is around 60hz. Any help would be fine. Sub is not blown.

-Other Info-
Sub - 12" Alpine Type E single 4 ohm coil (750 watt rated)
Amp - Pioneer GM-D7400M (800 watt rated @ 4 ohms)

Box - Kicker Pre-fab box (roughly 40hz tune)
At a 12V power supply.

Get an o scope or borrow and set your gains the proper way. I set my gains with a dd-1 using a 40 hz test tone -5db track for my bass amp and I have no clipping.
