Default sub question

yo guys i got a question. i got these 2 audiobahns, theyre really picky subs, its odd. u may have seen them for sale. reason i didnt use them in my car was a lack of finding the right amp for them, and meeting the right guy at the right time and buying a whole new setup. like today i went to sell them to a guy off TR, and the total rms power on these babies are 1800 watts. 3600 watt peak. i neeeded a amp to test them out on so i asked my buddy who has a little mtx amp like maybe 75 watt to each speaker, which is nothing! but the subs made a weird sound when hitting, like a rubbery bouncing sound, not normal for em to do. but when we turned the Gain down they sounded nice. is it that the speakers are being underpowered for it to make this noise. i know the speakers are not blown, ive had em checked out at a shop, and there brand new maybe used like a few months but not by me. i used em once in my car and took em out. i just wanna know whats causing it to make this sound.

also i need a favor, if anyone would like to meet up with me someone with these subs and let me test em on a decent amp at least 1000 watt or something. but i must say that i know that these subs need to run at 2ohm stable on a 2 channel amp, just for some background information. because when i bought em i tested em on a memphis amp, and they SLAMMED!! and the amp wasnt even that powerful in wattage. and the speakers were run at 2 ohm and the amp was 2 ohm stable. so, i just figured.

thanks guys for any of ur help. also heres a link to the subs.http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/ABNAW1006T

Sounds like they were clipping due to you not giving them enough power and turning the volume up too much. From my experience with Audiobahn, they need ALOT of power and a large enclosure to sound decent...

damnit keep it on subject. but thanks for your thoughts. so a clipped signal. the box is also small too i think that might be another reason for the sound. so i need a better amp is what ur saying mostly. they were to underpowered and making em sound bad? cool. all i need is to find someone with a decent amp
