Could you be a bit more specific here? Subs hooked up to what? Home audio? Computer? Automobile?

Describe the setup in detail as well. Head unit -> RCA -> Amp -> Sub for example.

Please pretend you're writting on the internet and that no one can see your setup.

Provide as must Detailed information as possible.

Example - tell us ->what did you plug you subs into?

either way subs are not meant to reproduce speech ("words") ...

Hey, for all we know, the dude's got it hooked up straight to a stereo amplifier. Hence the specifics we requested.

And unless it's a heavy surround competition-class driver, it will have no problem producing frequencies up to and above human speech. I've seen a 12" Kicker used as a PA monitor speaker in an emergency. It actually worked really well. This leads me to assume that he's got it on a filtered amplifier and doesn't have working left and rights for whatever reason.

This happened to me the first time I got a sub setup for my truck, I bought and installed all the stuff myself, the amp was too weak (nobody told me to get one with a higher rating than the sub, especially if you're buying a crap one, also nobody told me Jensen was crap amp) basically I didn't study up on it enough. I don't know what your particular problem is, but I turned my gain down and it mostly took care of it. Every once in a while, I would have to shut everything off and back on for some reason, I probably had something hooked up improperly. Tell us what your setup is, and how you have everything wired.
