ive thought it was maybe some glue also, im just being extra careful, dont wanna fuck up my first DC sub.
I'm kinda on the same page as u. I had recently had my gains set with the dd-1 but I can still get them stinky. I'm running mine at 2.8 btw. Idk tho some people have said that dc subs tend to smell at first. (correct me if I'm wrong)
