Same thing happened to me. It turned out my power and ignition wires going to the hu were loose, so that could be it

Thank you for the info. Intelli-q is down all the way and settings on hu are sub +15,bass -4, treble 0, mid 0.

no bass boost or subsonic on amp, but subsonic is internally set at 28hz. Low pass is all the way down. Could the setting called intelli-q be the bass boost?

Set at 50v. Sub cant be wired to 1 ohm since its a dual 1. So would an upgraded alt stop the clipping?

any other ideas?

how should i fix the clipping since i just set it with a multimeter?

Amplifier is 0.5 ohm stable.

2500rms at 1 ohm. wired at .5 ohm

Ok guys I have an 18 inch Fi BTL Dual 1 running off of an orion hcca d5000. When I play it at full blast for maybe 1 minute, the dustcap gets hot and it starts to smell a bit. At full blast my voltage drops to about 11.5 volts. i just set the gain with a multimeter and it still gets hot and smells. Also, the amp does not even get warm when it happens. any ideas? thanks in advance.

hell yeah lol its about 6.8 cubes tuned to 33hz. thanks

Just made a new box for the btl. Its running off an hcca d5000 at 0.5 ohms. In a dodge durango.

The next Ken Block?

Turns out it's the sub that smells and the dust cap is hot so what should I do now

I have the big 3 with a stock alt. Power and grounds were all fixed a few days ago.

But the thing is, ive had it in for like 2 months and it never did it before. Would it just start to smell now if thats the case?

I believe 0.7 but im not sure. How would i go about changing this?

Today I was on my way home to finally install my second battery and im bumpin pretty hard and for the first time, my amp starts to let off this awful smell. I also noticed it was pretty hot. The amp is an Orion HCCA D5000 and its pushing an FI BTL 18. The gain is all the way down on the amp and the sub level on the head unit is on -3 with no bass boost. So, I just went on and installed my second battery when I got home and turned it up and theres the smell again. Then, I opened the amp to see if anything was messed up inside, and everything seemed fine. Like I said today was the first time its ever done it and Im starting to get frustrated. Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.

I might check it out

Update on 1st post! Blue is 0ga. power, and Silver is 4ga. ground. I get some pretty nasty voltage drop right now, Im still waiting on a second batt.. Idk if it happens to u but my d5000 shuts off when voltage dips too low.

Dont mean to thread jack, but would I still be able to wire it like this if im using a duramax batt up front and an optima batt in the back?

Updated vid

I used it because its the best song to show flex on the sub imo. Tomorrow I'll have up some vids of the car flexing on diff. songs.

Thanks man. The box is ported on the back and I dont really want to sell them right now.

Yo whats up yall. I'm new to the forum and I figured I would throw my system up on here. I'm running on all stock electrical besides the big three and a yellow top up front. I should be upgrading that soon so be on the lookout. I have one quick vid to put up today, but I'll probably put 1 or 2 up tomorrow once my good cam charges. Update with new vids
