Subwoofer popping

hey guys this kinda tripped me out yday

I was playing a track with high bass and all of a sudden i hear a pop from my subwoofer this is the second time it has happened in two days. Just for information i m Running a 15 Kicker L7 powered by a fusion powerplant amplifier pushing around 800 rms to the sub. Any idea what could be causing this i dont want this sub blowing.

any advice would be great thanks

its a low frequency and bottomed out the sub. if u have a subsonic filter i suggest that u put it a bit higher or turn it on. or if u dont have it on the amp u will have to turn the gain a bit down

wow i thought it was almost impossible to bottom out the L7 i guess i was wrong probably drive her down to selective sound and get em to tune my amp properly

sometimes its just one note in the whole song. i have about 3 songs like that just one note in the whole thing.. but ya go check back at the shop. might be something wrong or might just need a little tunning
