Killing a fusion subwoofer. The sub itself is strong but just got overpowered and stuffed it up, so thought might as well kill it completely before getting a recone... :D

  • fusion sucks ass anyways

  • @DanneVolvo Just ask anyone who knows car audio? Old wives tales. You want a smaller amp when your driver can't handle the power. Contrary to popular belief, a smaller amp is perfectly safe for a subwoofer. If your amp is too small for your driver, it just won't perform up to its full potential. You will not damage it by underpowering it. I've heard all about clipping, but I've never blown a driver by underpowering it. Just don't severely clip your amp (sounds like junk when clipped).

  • @loganAO2 needs a whole new sub!

  • @danmarcelino ***turn the crossover knob/dial back and forth while listening to the song****

  • @fatboybob1000 well it depends on the amp.. usually theres an output gain contol on the amp itself (so one of those little dials you have to turn with a screwdriver) and yes, my guess is that its just bottoming out because your crossover is set to a frequency thats too low, so yeah try playing a tune that you like and then turn it back and forth durring the song until you find it is sounding good without bottoming out =]

  • @fatboybob1000 hmm, is it a sound like in this video? or is it different? if its like this video you need to turn down your output gain (going to your subs) or use the crossover to take out some of the lower frequencies so your subs can still play loud but not bottom out =] let me know if this made sense or not lol and let me know if it works out for ya! =]

  • @rjc34 Ahhh allright, thanks for the info mate! Didn't know:) I

  • @RuffleCoptah It's not actually floppy, that's just the way the camera records it. It records pixels from top to bottom, and the cone moves faster than it can capture a single frame, so by the time it's moved down on one frame a bit the cone has already moved.

  • Wow that's floppy..

  • u can hear the clipping
