Am i clipping or underpower? Need beefier amp?


Recommended Posts

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?

But how would i wire that baby up?
