Dcsoundlabs26 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I got one dc xl 15 down to 2 ohms on an ia40.1, gettin about 1800 rms clamped, and i just dropped this sub in yesterday. Everything is set, gains, eq, etc. Why do i smell something similar to my coil burning up? The smell fills my cabin in my jeep and its pretty bad. Am i doing something wrong?

C-Fizzy Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Is it a brand new sub? Could be excess CA glue burning off. Give it a few days to go away. Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?
memphisBred Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Scope your head unit? Playing below tuning? How do you know it's 1800 clamped? Did you actually clamp it? Quote SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow
memphisBred Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Glue is possible. If its noticeably bad, its probably not glue. Quote SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow
C-Fizzy Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I read that he "set gains, eq, etc." So I'm guessing he meant with an o-scope. Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?
matt402 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 my XL had an extra spider & it took about 2 weeks to break in until it didnt have a slight glue smell. Quote
Dcsoundlabs26 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Posted April 2, 2011 All by ear and common sense No oscope although i wish i had one, But i was just thinkin if its not from the sub itself, it could be that my infinitys upfront in the door are shitting themselves and clippin. But then again i hear alot about dc coil smell so idk.

Dcsoundlabs26 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Posted April 2, 2011 And the smell isnt exactly bad, its just very noticible and frustrating cause i cant figure it out Quote 2 DC AUDIO Level 5 18s Carbon Fiber Dust Caps, Direct Leads, Stiffened Spiders Stinger SPV69, SPV70's (2) Stetsom 7KD Excelene 50+ feet 0g Welding Cable Soundstream 4.500 + JBL 1000.4 Cadence Mids + Earthquake Highs Clarion 507 BT + EQ All Stinger Parts/Adapters/ETC.

Robert8252 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I have beat the shit out of my XL and have never smelt the coil at all. Play for over two solid hours and I could stick my nose in the port and not smell a thing. Probably just glue since its new.
