JacobHall103 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 Hey guys, my two 8's in a ported box on a ZX 300.1 Kicker Amp have been making this horrible noise it almost sounds like a fart, is the best way i can describe it. The box is right behind my seat in my 1990 Chevy. Ideas on how this problem was caused and how i can resolve it and is it serious? -Jacob Quote

JacobHall103 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Posted October 11, 2009 If its a single cab, sub might be rubbing against something. yea its a single cab, the seat is right up against the box and the subs i put some grills over the subs but it didn't help, same farting sound. Quote

JacobHall103 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Posted October 11, 2009 First thing that came to mind. i guess if it was rubbing against something the only thing would be the seat, and like i said, i put grills over the subs to keep it off the seat and it didn't make a difference. Quote
Andrew2944r Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 Pull the seat fowards and see if you get the same sound Quote Team Ampere Audio
JacobHall103 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Posted October 11, 2009 Pull the seat fowards and see if you get the same sound yea i tried that as well, didn't help, same sound...could this be a port problem? or is something wrong with the sub? Quote
Skullz Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 If you have a ported box place a hand over the ports and see if that stops it, if not pull the grills and lightly tug on the surrounds to see if they have broke free from the basket.

Skullz Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 Pull the subs and check the spiders or anything inside the box itself that could cause anything wierd. Like a plastic bag that may have been sucked in or something. Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
