Update: IM SUCH AN IDIOT! i know whats wrong with my subwoofer... i had it wired down to .5ohm, i didn't realize i got a 1 ohm coil each, so my hifonics is wired down to .5 ohms and didn't kill it.

shows the resilience of a hifonics brutus.

How do you figure wiring it to .5 ohms made the sub have scratching sounds?

[Julian 641]

running an amp below its ohm range would piss the amp off and make it clip etc.

[KU40 173]

mm....no, it wouldn't clip inherently. It will still provide the same amount of power (or more) than at 1 ohm without clipping. It would piss it off and make the amp blow sooner, yeah.

Try wiring the sub to 2 ohms and see if the scratching noise is still there.

[Julian 641]

did that none

Yeah running a hifonics at a hlf ohm, is not a good thing. Sounds like you need to get a .5 stable amp, or something at 2 ohms. Hifonics amps are decent budget amps, thats what I have for now. Car Audio can be hard to troubleshoot sometimes, but never blame the maker until you know its not your fault. And if you sent it in for a recone, 99% of the time they can tell if its abuse.

yeah i didnt mean to run it at .5 ohms i thought i got a 2 ohm sub
