[Jiish]

running a 300w infinty sub of a 454 jbl amp. on the headunit all the sound is at the front and the sub sounds alright for some songs, but then on like dance music stuff in can hear a noise like the sub is working to hard and can hear like a clipping sound? is my sub now wrecked or do i just need to work on the settings. how will i know if im damaging it? cheers

how is the gain set on the amp?

it's not a volume control, its a signal sensitivity matcher

LOL, a sub box is more imporant than the sub in creating a good sound.

and set the gain properly when it's in a box

dont want to fry your VC's
