Your over driving the sub. if you in a bigger room than you were before you are probly trying to acheive the same level as you were accustomed to before . It sounds like the driver is moving out of the voice coil. It also may just be worn out, getting a bit long in the tooth. Time for an upgrade.

DOG is GOD spelled backwards.
