Am i clipping or underpower? Need beefier amp?

So here it goes.

I stumbled across a Pyle Fully loaded system, i won it in a contest.

Its not the bad.

Well my enclosure came in and im ready to install it.

well i had the subs mounted backwards or firing inside the enclosure (thats how i want it to be) and there nicly seated on the carpet what not,

and the system sounds amazing at noticable levels. or normal levels.

well when i crank it up, and i mean CRANK IT UP, i get this wired odd noise and sinse im new to the 12' ers i have no idea what it is.

it doesnt sound like mechnanacal noise to me.

its this wierd sound, it makes a "pert" sound. and only when the cone goes up and down for a lot, like when i play party like a rock star, it does it alot for that song. and its very anoying.

it goes, bump-----bump PEERT PEEERT-----------pert-bump-pert-bump-pert-bump----bUUUUUUMMMMMMP (if you know how the song goes)

So i did some research and my amps rms is (bridged) 240 watts,

MY subs are Blue waves (Newest generation) 1200 watt subs that are max rated at 1200 but no were i can find a rms rating so i did some looking and rms ratings are basicly half of the maximum give or take some.

So when i pump it up alot and get this wierd noise am i clipping cause the amp is having a hard time?

its a chopper 1400 watt 2 channel amp

and im looking at buying this amp here http://cgi.ebay.com/SPL-Amp-1800-Watt-Amplifier-2-Channel-Ch-Gorilla-Series-/320392498426?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item4a98e18cfa#ht_615wt_1137

how would i wire it so were i have the two stero imputs and have the speakers wired bridged?

the subs are DVC and each coail is 4 ohms.

also, these things dont sound very loud but i am in a house, not a car...so when i do put them in my little ol geo, will it get a lot louder?

my subs DONT sound like this

but (IN THIS VIDEO IGNORE THE PARTS WERE THE SUB JUMPS) when this sub is playing normally, the higher pitched sound "pert" (NOT THE JUMPS IN THE VIDEO) thats what mine sound like but ar REALLY high flexes...

well im sure its not cause when i play that song at a lower volume it doesnt happen, but as soon as i hit that "OMFG YOUR FUCKING LOud!" i get it, but the subs arent really that loud to me....mybe they need to be in a car for me to judge......

looks nice, Thanks for the find!

But how would i wire that baby up?

4 voice coils, 4 ohms each...

and i would love to use both channels from my deck......

so bridged 1 ohm? or bridged 4 ohms?

same exact amp as the one he has now.

i defintly dont have that amp and ITS NOT A HIGH FEQ, cause when i play the song in my buddy car, it doesnt make that sound sound AT ALL, no matter how loud he gets....
