K-Town 370z install

kooj_01 · 03-04-2011, 07:06 AM

So I have a little problem. I have everything installed in the car. I have the JL stealth box with 2 10" w3s and an Alpine mrp-1000m. Now for some reason when I turn the gain up a little over a quarter of the way I get like a pop sound when the speaker hits hard. I have checked all the speaker wires to make sure I'm not backwards or shorting out. Then only thing I can think of is that I'm over powering the speakers which does not make sense being they are rated for 1000 watts just like the amp so they should handle it unless I'm thinking about this all wrong. Or maybe my RCA wires are backwards. I noticed that on the re-q they are not labeled on the sub side. I would swap them around but didn't know what's gonna happen if I'm wrong and they are the right way. Any info or opinion would be great.
