Hey, the sub in my Z-5500 blew the other day and I replaced it with a sony xplod 1200watt subwoofer I had laying around. It was sounding great till I watched Iron Man 2. In high bass scenes :hissyfit::dontknow:the subwoofer would make a popping sound like its popping popcorn. Its very annoying. What can I do

I don't think it has any shorts because I hooked my friends sub woofer from the original Z-5500 Theater system to mine and it worked fine. The Sony however does the same thing in both system....Also I ruled out the Sony having a problem because I hooked it up in my car and It worked great

Your tube is 3 cu.ft. tuned to just over 27 hz. The sub doesn't model to bad considering it only has 6.2 mm of Xmax and the amp has a subsonic filter at 33 hz. The problem is you are driving a 4 ohm sub with an amp that was designed for an 8 ohm load. The popping sound you hear is the amp telling you it's past its limits, if you don't ease up on it it will fail.
