Cody Jackson Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 New to car audio here. I just purchased a 12" Kenwood Subwoofer, and a 600w 2 channel, Class AB Planet Audio amp. It seems like im getting a lot of distortion at pretty low levels, but I guess it could just be me. Is it a problem with amp? or is it just not enough power to push the sub correctly? Or is there something i'm missing completley? Quote

Cody Jackson Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Posted March 26, 2015 My bad guys, what is the correct forum to put this in? Quote
aculous Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 amplifier section would probably be best. audible distortion on a brand new amp is interesting at best...a bad amp at worst. But thats 1 scenario, could be 50 different things, start with the simple stuff and work your way up (see RCAs) Quote
