Subs aren't as loud as they were before
Hey all, I noticed all of a sudden today that my two Rockford Fosgate P1's aren't as loud as they were yesterday. It sounds dumb, and people are probably going to say "its in your head," but I know for a fact it is at least half to a quarter of volume that they were yesterday.
I checked all the basics...the wiring...all the deck and amp settings, exc. But it didn't resolve the problem. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was the solution?
The subs still hit, at a consistent volume. I mean, each sub hits the same. So its not like one is blown. I unplugged each sub, one at a time, and the bass got quieter. When I plugged each one back in, the bass got louder, like it is supposed to. But they still aren't as loud as they should be.
Help!!

but the best ways to protect your self from clipping (which in other words is over setting your amp and Head Unit to where it sends a dirty signal) it always keep loud settings off and NEVER use bass boost on your amp. or in some people's cases like me not having a sufficient eletrical system that can keep up with the equipment being ran.

yes. loud settings almost always can damage a sub/amp. when setting up your amp you should set your gains with a DMM (digital multi meter) they can be picked up at walmart for 20$. but when you do set it properly you will probably notice that it isnt as loud as before. the reason behind this is when you clip a signal it almost always is loud but all the power sent is not clean power at all. therefore you roast the voice coil on your woofer. its no big deal for me if i happen to do this because it only cost 70$ to rebuild my woofer and it only takes about an hour.
