gdaigle Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 You may be clipping them. How did you set your gain?

gdaigle Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 It would probably help if you gave some more details about your setup. Vehicle, amps, electrical etc...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 More details are needed.

Neil Duncan Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 The guy who built the box did that but when i looked back there it was just under the half way point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdaigle Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 You should start by learning how to properly set your gains... Not setting them properly can damage your subs and your amps. Would explain why your subs are getting hot and why one of your amps stopped working...
