Hi all,
I got pioneer 1200W TS-W257D2.
just installed it few days ago and i hear a weird vooo (simillar something vibrating) coming from the port of the subwoofer's box.
now i checked the box it's perfectly as i see it .
what could be the problem ?

Are you sure you're not getting alt whine or ground noise?Does the sound of the noise increase or change as you press on the gas?

it's prefab and yes it's coming from the port of the box and it's really annoying during high volume.
here is a picture of my sub with it's box.
it's a simple box i think it's the cheap kind.
but i wanna be sure it's the box before i buy a new one.

Check and see if your amp has a clean ground.

Prob port noise. Not surprising at all since prefab boxes really suck.
