Sorry I wasnt clear, kind of drank a little bit too much. The smell comes no matter how loud I have been playing it. The magnet warming up is only when I play it loud. I was just trying to say that the speaker isnt getting crazy hot at high volumes and stays cool at low volumes. And no I did not set anything with an Oscope. I need to get my hands on one and I really have not pushed my system at all and I wont until I snag one and rebuild my box.I am pretty new to this whole build your own system thing. I am hoping to have things up and running and banging the hardest I have ever felt in a month or two.

I have been thinking about this a long, long time and finally decided to post something about it. I noticed when I first put the system in I could smell something different. Its not a bad or burning smell at all just something strange. It doesn't really matter what the volume is at or what my gains are at (little less than half on my 3500D) but the smell always comes about five minutes into playing. I would have to say it smells exactly like a bran new built computer (or computer parts freshly taken out of the anti static bag). Is this something to be worried about? I have not really tired pushing it that hard lately because I am not sure of some things. I know my subsonic is set to 28hz and my box is tuned to 30hz so that should not be a problem. I have touched the amps and all the wiring in the trunk and nothing is hot, some are warm but nothing too bad. The speaker itself gets warm from bangin it to some songs but nothing that I would consider "hot". Also, the amps are not even getting warm so I don't know. I think it may just be the amps warming up?

Alright, I have been on a few different websites here trying to figure out the SMALLEST box I can put a 15" in. I was going to get two level 4 12"s but that box was too big. Turns out that was about 6.5cuFt. I see the 15" only requires about 3.5 cuFt. Well my trunk is about 40 inches wide by 41 inches deep and 17.5 inches high. The last two boxes somebody designed for me turned out that I did not have enough room for the extra battery or the amps. Well I have been reading around and really like the idea of a external port. I am looking to do competitions with this woofer but also like to listen to music on it during everyday driving. Would it be impossible to be about to hit say 33hz and 44hz (for comp) with an external port when the box is no deeper than 17 inches? This is just a throw up without even thinking of how the cubic feet would be but like 39w x 17d x 16.5h
