New member Username: Hw60068nNYC Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-07 | Hi, I bought a amp/sub (Arc 2ch/Rainbow 8in.) package awhile back. I recently installed them both. I found out that the sub was a bit distorted when i turn up the volume. I found out that my bridged 2ch amp has more power than the sub. Is there a way to make my sub less distorted so i can turn up the volume a bit more? Should buy a new sub that can match up with my amp? Any advice will help. Thanks. Hen |
