OrionStang Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 I think I did this a couple times today. What kind of damage does it do to the sub? What could be the causes? Got my gains set right and it doesn't happen on every song, first time was today. Any knowledge on this? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread

This tends to happen when playing songs below your box tuning or when you use a box entirely too big for the subs causing them to unload. Quote

OrionStang Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Well the box is deff not too big, a little on the small side. Its tuned low 30's, the bottoming happened on BigPimpins 'Let My Beat Pound" on the sine sweep part. So prolly to low for the box. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
OrionStang Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Trying raising your subsonic filter. I just thought that too. On this amp its 'off' or 'on', I thought I had it on, checking now. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
speeddemon0308 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 yeah did the same thing the first time i listened to it but dident bottom out. set your subsonic! Quote
OrionStang Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Alright subsonic was off. On now. Can anyone explain what bottoming would sound like. I never heard it so I don't know if it was that or distortion or something in the car vibrating badly. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
speeddemon0308 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 did the full sweep play at full volume?, if so.. you bottomed them out! Quote
OrionStang Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 did the full sweep play at full volume?, if so.. you bottomed them out! Not full volume, but pretty high. Yeah, sounded real shitty. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
