| Post subject: | Question about subwoofers |
So I have the stock 8 inch sub. Now, I like to listen to my music loud and the stock system is awesome as far as speakers go. However, when I turn the music up really loud the subwoofer will make a popping noise. So I'll go into the audio controls and turn the sub down a little bit, it still pops, turn it down more, etc. I'm wondering if it's possible to upgrade to a more powerful sub but keep the stock wiring and speaker set up, meaning not putting in an amp, and I won't have the popping noise. I want to keep the sub where it is...out of the way...so if I can avoid getting a box and amp that would be great. Thanks in advance. |

I realize it won't be anymore powerful but I won't get that annoying popping sound anymore right? And any idea what the stock watts for the sub is? |

It's possible that the popping noise is being caused by the amp being overdriven |

When I first got the libby I had the bass turned up all the way. Then it did it's popping dealio so I turned it down two notches and didn't notice again. A little later I turned it back up one notch and it was fine. Then it started popping again. So I turned it down one notch, still popped, turned it down another notch, still did it. Basically the highest setting is 9 and it's turned down to 5 right now and it's still popping. |

Look into a bigger sub, around 12" to give a good balance. The 8 can't move that much air. If you must have an 8. Look into the DD1508 and a DD m4 amplifier. Sent from my A501 using Tapatalk 2 |

I had to do the Same with mine! It came with the infinity sound system Wasn't to happy with my bass and every time I would turn up the bass it would turn up the bass on the door speakers and make them rattle, I went out to a local car and audio shop and they replaced my stock sub with a 8 inch kicker sub and a amp for only 200 so now I get my bass from the sub and the door speakers are my mids I'm happy happy happy |

OP it makes sense to just get a better 8, put it in a ported enclosure, and get an amp to match the subs requirements. you'll notice such a difference from the stock 8 |
