You neeed to tell us about your system and install.

my geuss is that you are overpowering the subs or clipping the amp

[wrightie]

my system did the same when i installed. My amp (500/1) will run at 1.5-4 ohms. the way I had it configured it was runing at 1 ohm and it would clip or distort every time i would try to turn it up. I bet this is you problem. Look at how you have them wired. good luck.

yes wired in parellel is what i have them also i have a 500/1 jl audio amp

yeah something seems wrongf there, i'll ask my friend, he's a freak with audio stuff, i'll let you know what he thinks it is.....

Do you have the JL amp sensitivity on the wrong setting? There is a switch for low input and high input sensitivity from a HU.

[HAZED]

i have it low.. i was thinking it was the box

[mikegett]

What HU do you have? If you are using a 4 volt or higher aftermarket the amp will clip at low volumes. The same could be true if you are using a Line out converter. They tend to max as high as 8 volts.
