But the sub isn't new. It is used but it hasn't been used in a while. So is this normal? My friend has two L7 15s and they never made any smells at all, even when they were new.

i got a L5 kicker off a 650.1 kicker amp at two ohms. I bought the sub and amp used. Well I cant get my box until christmas but I just wanted to see if everything worked tonight so I hooked it all up and played the sub naked. Everything was going fine until I smelt a burning stench. At first I thought the smell came from the amp but I then smelled the sub and it definately came from the sub. I didn't see any visible smoke but I could still smell the odor nonetheless. Another thing is, even when the radio was off (car on still), my sub was still getting power. Like I could feel the vibration. And when I closed the doors the sub would go in and out like it was beating but it didn't make a boom. So what is going on here? The sub was beating but it had an unfriendly smell. The amp can't be overpowering it because its not that strong. Any explanations would be much appreciated. Thanks
