Another thing could be that the box has a leak which can sound like distortion.

As for the amp if your gains are set incorrectly and you are sending a clipped signal to the subs-- you might fry the coils.

I would suggest using that kicker amp and one of those ID subs-- that would be perfect with 250watts of extra headroom. That way you are sending more than sufficient amount of power to the sub and there would be less clipping involved.

if he powers only one sub he won't be at 2 ohms and most likely halve the power, so he wont have the headroom.

i do agree with you that he should check the input signal and turn down the gain.
