back on top...if ur subs are gettin stinky u either have to let them break in or ur gains are set to high and ur clipping the **** out of ur sub...my best answer would be check ur gains with an o-scope if u have one with some test tones

im betting the gain is too high if its really a 6v hu then 1/2 gain is probably too high. i would at least turn off the bass eq

If your head unit has a 6V sub pre, your gain should be pretty much all the way down with an Alpine amp. Even then, you may be clipping. I would get an Alpine head unit with a 4V sub pre or an amp that can take a 6V+ input signal.
