Allright.... I figured I would slowly move over here. I currently have my 10" Adire Audio Brahma (I am not sure what generation, and I am not sure how to check) run to a 1200.1 MA Audio amp at 1 ohm. At high volumes I believe my sub may be clipping, not bottoming out. I have a feeling it may be the amp. How do I tell the difference between clipping and bottoming out, and what amp would you reccomend for this sub? Anyone have one for sale? Slim? Eric?
Thanks Dan

It sounded like someone kind of flicked the plastic cone with their nail..... but repetative. I turned it down right at that. I didn't think it would bottom.... but I thought that might be the sound. However, when my JL's made a similar sound, we fed them more power and they sounded better. That is what has me confused.

Im not too sure on the MA audio products, I guess I never thought they were all that good.
Back when I had my 00' Dakota, I was running a 10W7 and powering it with the JL 500/1.....sounded nice and had the power to move it real good. It hit 147db with just that one sub  O.S.

The box seems solid. Pretty well reinforced 3/4" MDF. I wanted to do baltic birch but didn't have the cash at the time. It just doesn't seem as loud as I think it should be. I could be wrong though. That is why I wish I had someone who really KNOWS their stuff who could listen to it real quick. I don't remember the exact specs I built it too.... I used WinISD Pro. The box came out to something like 1.4 ft^3 internal volume after bracing. I think it is tuned at either 35 or 36 hertz.
The real downside about my system is that I am running a factory head unit. (With the premium sound on VW you need to re-wire everything to go with an aftermarket HU. Kind of like Bose....) So... off of the factory amp i nthe rear I tapped into the rear speaker line outs and ran that to a line out converter, then the RCA's to the amp. I know it isn't the best, but I don't think that should have anything to do with the actual behavior of the sub. Am I wrong?
