I turned down the input signal strength and it helped me out, just isnt as loud as it is now. If it gets too loud its like the wave inside the box hits itself and distorts as if the sub was busted. It works for now so I will figure it out later if anyone wants to guess at it list the things and I will go one by one

If you wire the high outs form a deck to RCAs, it will work at very low volumes and fuck up at high volumes.

I can only see it working at very low volumes.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

high level output is an amped signal from the headunit that varies from 0-20v. the low lvel input on your amp is designed for 0-4v maybe 8v but no more than that.

I doubt thats the problem unless you have a high to low level converter box that has the gains turned all the way up on it.

I think you have your 1.5ohm coils wired in parallel whicn is too low for a 1000/1

yes in fact I do have them running parallel which I just realized is .75 ohms. Series would give me 3ohms, is this right?

yeah... From what I read, the 1000/1 is a 1.5ohm stable amp so that would probably be the reason you are getting the pop. I think its designed to run dual 13w7s.
