I have 2 12" Alpine Type-R subs and a 1000x1 HiFonics Brutus amp. The problem is when I turn the volume up over half way the subs seem to make a popping sound and dont really produce any bass at all.

Please HELP!!

Thanks

ftw = for the win, lol

Clipping is basically asking your amp to do more than it's capable of doing, therefore, sending a distorted signal to your subs. The poping noise is deff a bad thing. To correct this, readjust your gain by setting it to the pre-voltage output of your HU and by showing the volume knob some mercy. :-)

nice.

sorry to hijack the thread. let me get back on topic.

do you have it wired correctly? maybe you didn't connect the ohms right. recheck all your connections carefully.

sounds more like he used the gain as a volume knob :-)
