you probably used the gains as a volume control. dont do that. clipping = blow VCs

gain should not be more than halfway to 2/3 if you dont know how to set them properly.

if you do know how to set them properly with an o-scope or DMM (which by the sounds of you're writing, you have no idea) then you dont need me to tell you.

chris, how about getting a alpha 15? ill give you one for 250 shipped... there definitely a cut above the l7s...the l7s are bad but the alpha are definitely a better built woofer... size box you have? what load is that amp stable at? you could probably sell that kicker amp for 450 or so and get you a RD 1750 or sundown audio 1500 and it would murder that l7 and 1000D...

just set gains properly. do not set too high. clipping kills this sub quicker than most. and ive never been able to feed them much more power than what they are rated.

What is Alpha? And where is the dude that sells RD and Sundown? Any URLs? I had them all before but lost them somehow. Been awhile since I've been in the forums.

Need a new amp for my Titaniums...

Which Ti's? Looks like Eclipse took them off their website. Wonder if they are discontinued?
