I just finished my first sub, 18 in. square sealed enclosure filled with 20oz polyfill, a Stryke AV12 driver and a Parts Express 250w amp .
It sounds great at low volume but if I turn the level knob on the amp past 1/4 the cone vibrates excessively with high distortion and sometimes the amp cuts off and I have to reset.
The amp is wired like this: pos to one coil, neg to the other with jumpers pos to pos and neg to neg.
Am I expecting too much from this enclosure? I have no experience with subs but I thought I would get more volume without distortion than what I am getting now. Any help would be appreciated.
