Dude...you're sending it 1000 watts more than it's rated.

I think your bottoming it out, on the back plate. How are your controls on your amp set?

Sending it more watts than what it's rated shouldn't effect it to where it's 'popping'. Either it's bottoming out, or you need to ground your RCAs or get some new ones what deck

are you using. I had a popping sound on my AQs and found out the ground on my RCA output from my deck was lose.

Lolz. There are people who run 4k+ rms with no problems. Its most likely that the box is too big, and it can't mechanically handle all 3000w

Playing below tuning frequency of the enclosure...with no subsonic filter on...or it is not set properly for the tuning of the enclosure...

Speakers are stupid..they do EXACTLY what you tell them to do.

Popping is a very, very general term. We need much more info like more specifically how it sounds, when does it happen, etc.

Since it is a dual 2 ohm subwoofer wire it at 1 ohms, and we need more info from you man. Either the box is the problem or your settings could be at fault or both, follow these settings so you wont mess up anything on that subwoofer:

Head Unit Settings

Bass Boost/Exend = Off

Loud/Loundness = Off

Sub Level: + whatever yours goes up to minus a few whatever your preference

Bass = 0 or lower, whatever your preference

Amp Settings

Gain = Set with DMM (with a 50Hz test tone and at subs rms or amps rms whichever is lower), no more than 50-60% if you dont have one.

LPF = 100Hz or lower whatever your preference

Bass Boost = Off

SSF = 1-5 Hz lower than box tuning, or until subs start to reach its excursion level.
