TROUBLE SHOOTING
No sound from your subwoofer: Check amplifier and wiring connections.
Distorted sound: Check the connections from amplifier, processor or head unit.
Subwoofer makes unusual noise in sealed enclosure: The enclosure may have leaks causing a lack of back pressure. Remove the subwoofer and ensure the enclosure is completely sealed, use sealer and polyurethane to do this.
Ported enclosure makes an unusual noise: Possibly due to incorrect port used. The correct term is chuffing, and to rectify this you will need to increase the port area. The diameter will need to increase and the port length will need recalculating.
Bad smell: If you smell a burning smell, then chances are the subwoofer has been damaged. This can be due to the enclosure parameters being incorrect, too small an amplifier used and the subwoofer is receiving unwanted clipped signals or the music choice has enhanced bass notes played for long periods of time. Check the enclosure volume used and ensure the subwoofer is receiving clean audio signals from the amplifier.
Vehicle rattles: The best way to solve this problem is to add sound deadening material to the steel panels of your vehicle. Ensure all screws and plastic panels are affixed firmly.
