their clipping that means turn down he gain and the bass boost or they are gonna fry...


also make sure yoru cables are big enough to carry the current yoru amp needs and make sure you have the proper charging upgrades necessary to run your system

it does have bassbost but is called diferent on rockford amps i think the remote has the gain and the bass boost knob...

and you have to do the big 3 to yoru alt your tb10001d is aorund 15000 rms thats too much if you have a small alt if you have a normal car you migth have a small alt..


get 0 gauge wire and run it form yoru pos alt to your battery pos... then the alternator casing run a wire from there to yoru battery neg then battery neg to a part of the chassis make sure u scrape any metal for better flow..


and the most important thing... make sure your ground and power form yoru amp are of the same thick or gauge... and make sure you have a good ground

nope just wood imo i think its the wood being used because the subs slam and the ports are just throwin the air in there... kinda like a f@rt, it smells but its not causing any damage. thanks for all your help guys
