Fosgate 15" T1 dual 4 ohm, smells....funny
newb4976 replied to newb4976's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
to make maters worse, i came inside to see what it would do off 80 watts of a surround sounds receiver, and blew my receiver up, today is not for me. -

Ok, so i think im a retard, i just pushed up the cone, i saw the top half of the copper looked brand new, and the other half is like a grayish black, am i boned? and if one coil is blown, which is what it seems like, then which coil is which? how do i find out if the top of the coil is the connections on the right or left or the sub? can i run it off one coil and just cut the rms in half? -

2.0 cubes, gain turned all the way down, bass boost off, air tight, its been 20 minutes since i did that and now i can hardly smell it, even if i put my nose right next to the motor, im very confused -
Earlier today i traded my SA-8 v.1 D4 and some cash for a Rockford Fosgate 15" T1 dual 4 ohm, seemed to work fine when the guy did a demo, free air, off his amp, played for a minute fine, didnt smell anything, didnt hear anything funny, was wired at 2 ohms, so both coils were hooked up. Now i get home about an hour ago and did a a test in some random 15" box i found in my shed, for literally 30 sec to see how it sounded in a sealed box, crappy btw, and i took it out and it smells like old/ burnt/ electronics, it works fine, both coils are working, i tested them differently, and together, its got good excursion, doesnt bind, surrounds are good, i can see the coil is shiny copper, not burnt as far as i can see, so whats the problem? is it burning up slowly? is it about to burn up? can i only see one of the coils? was it burnt up, and fixed, so the smell is just there? what wrong with it? thanks

i think that i might just buy 2 of these, i dont wanna wait 3 more months to get something that could very well end up not impressing me, might as well try with some cheap ones http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_44511_Hifonics-ZRX15SQD4.html

what about http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_27322_RE-Audio-SX18D2.html

ive never built any speaker / sub in my life, im not trying to make a 300$ mistake
-
i know for almost a fact, im not going to be able to afford a decent 18" for quite some time, unless i get some crazy hook up
-
I understand that, um for power i have no clue, only limits are no alternator, extra battery, and around 400 for an amp sometime down the road
-
best bang for my buck, ive had 8's, 10's, and 12's, time to upgrade, ill have about 275 cash after i sell my SA-8, amp, other sub, and some other stuff Thanks also, i want to be able to hit lows hard, thats my reason for upgrading.

Are my box specs going to work, Single SA-8 v.1 D4
newb4976 replied to newb4976's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
i can go these specs: 10x23x11.5 8.5x1x28 14.41 inches per cube foot .59 cubes after displacment 35.72 Hz Would that be a better option? cause i really would not like to go above 36 hz.
