jizzybizzy Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) quick story. im listening to "make love in the club" hits pretty hard btw and so the low note in it i hear this popping sound. so i check it out, cuz i thought maybe something was hitting the sub, but its clear. theres nothing around it. it only makes the noise on long low notes... kinda like its over excursioning.... any ideas of what it might be?

Chris Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Did your gains get bumped or something? Maybe you have a clipped signal for some reason.

EricM9104 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Sounds like a sub could be going out... Are your subs single or dual 4ohm VC? Quote 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 110k miles | Stock 1996 GMC Yukon SLT 4dr 4wd | 260k miles | JVC Head-unit
Chris Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Did you just put this system in, or have you had it for a while? Sounds like you have the one sub wired backwards.

Sounds like you have the one sub wired backwards. ive had the subs in for awhile... but i just put everything back in after the fire incident... "Sounds like a sub could be going out... Are your subs single or dual 4ohm" single 4 ohm Quote you ain't been bizzy til you've been wit jizzy.

Chris Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Sad to say, but it sounds like the one sub's VC may be coming undone. I'd check for tinsel slap before I jump to any conclusions though. If you've had the sub for a real long time, it might be getting "too" broken in.

If you've had the sub for a real long time, it might be getting "too" broken in. that makes sense now i think about it..... cuz thats what i was going to describe the sound as .... but i havent had it for a real long time... its been since march... but is there anything i can do to fix it ..or do i have to send it in to polk and have them fix it?
