subs pop?

Heyo. got a little problem I gotta ask :) I got two JL W6V2 with a JL 1000/1 in a sealed box It seems if I listen to anything really bassy (rap mostly) and I turn it to about 20+ volume or just turn the bass controls up my 1 subs makes a popping noise. Only the one though, that I have noticed. I've googled and searched and read a few things. But lots of mixed answers. Am I overpowering the subs? Do I need to just tweak my amp? (settings wise) Having volume at like 20 or so is loud enough for me, its almost ear bleeding loud but some songs that hit hard it makes the noise and scares the doodie out of me. And I'm scared if I drive around with a passenger they might just turn it up a little to loud one day and bam.. bye bye subs :(

MANY things could be wrong/happening... Box too big Box leaks air Amp mis-adjusted Overpowering bass knob cranked Yes, only one does it, but that doesn't mean that one or more of those things above can be causing it...It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

thxs bro. I am going to adjust my amp this weekend once I buy or borrow a volt meter. I think the gain and other settings are messed up because I bought this amp from ebay and the guy was using it for 3 JL W6v2. and the boost was at like +10 and other crazy settings. JL site has a few examples about setting up amps for certain things. I might just copy one of those and tweak it to my own preference.

make sure the subs are in phase too...they could make that poping noise your talking about.2007 Acura TSX
