Bronze Member Username: Ques07Post Number: 38 Registered: Sep-07 | i have a RD Audio 1000.1 amp and i'm looking for a some subs that will be good for the amp i currently have 2 kicker comp cvr 12" running at 4 ohms to a tma amp and i don't want to blow them up by putting them on the rd amp... price range is around 300 or lower... i'm poor  |

Bronze Member Username: Ques07Post Number: 39 Registered: Sep-07 | would have to have the amp power lowered the cvr's can't handle the amp all the way up i turned it on today and i was listening to it and i heard the subs start to distort the sound... i mean if you can help me configure it right i'll do it but i don't want to blow perfectly good subs that i could just sell to my friend... |

Experiment with the BB, set it at about ~1/4 and listen, then even try it off. The subs most likely aren't distorting from being over powered, your just clipping them. After about a few minutes of play, feel the dustcap (center of sub). If it gets warm your clipping them! |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1999 Registered: May-07 | I'm gonna bet your severely clipping them, which can sound much like bottoming out ...Or you could have an improper box as well ...or both. Google clipping, you can learn a great deal when you open that can of worms  |
