Ok, I have been having this problem for a while and I am not sure if it the setting on the the amps and 360.2 or if it is the box or the subs........The amps are set at as follows.....subsonic off, gain at 1/4, and the freq at 28hz both t2000's are set this way........the 360.2 is set with the gain higher freqs all the way down and the lower freqs at 0...........the box is 13.08 cubes tuned to 32.46 hz.......port is 10x10x14.......box is 18x45x33......braced, fiberglassed 45's, etc.......I only have 2000 watts to each sub and it is like they cant handle it........build log is here on the forum page 5 under 08 Trailblazer SS check it out and let me know what you think.........thanks

turned the subsonic on but it doesnt seem to have as much pressure......gain still at a 1/4 and the freq only goes down to 32 so I have it set at 45 on the amp and I can adjust on the knob........what do you think..........didnt bottom out but I couldnt really turn it up that loud.........I will here in a little bit........

Army guy you have resonded twice to something that you have NO knowledge of.....so while appreciate you resonding I think that this thread is a little out of your league......Thanks

If you are familiar with the T2000bd if has a infrasonic switch either on or off, there is a gain, there is a freq knob adjustable from 32 hz to ?, and a master, slave, and single switch.....

The infrasonic is on, gain at 1/4, freq is at 45, and single is switched.......took the truck out and it is still bottoming out........the BTL's cant handle it.......as far as taking a pic.....the way the amps are mounted you wont be able to see anything.......

That is happening because you are playing music that is below the tuning of your enclosure or you do not know where the box is tuned at. When you do this your subs are playing free air..and the amplifier is not cutting power. There is enough coil in the gap on the BTL's to yank the soft parts into ragged pieces. This is why it is VERY important to have a proper subsonic filter.

The subsonic is not adjustable on the rockford amplifiers, they are set at 27Hz @ 12dB per octave...which if you have your enclosure tuned any higher than 30Hz is pretty much useless.

You need to either retune your box, get another amplifier, or add a processing unit that has adjustable subsonic filter controls.

Remember..speakers are dumb. They do not break on their own...they simple do exactly what you tell them to do.
