PurfectlyInsane Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Usually when you smell coils burning, it is getting hot enough to melt the glue. Which is pretty damn hot. First, when you start smelling this odor, have you touched the dustcap to see if the sub is actually getting warm? This should be the first thing to do. First, touch the dustcap before any power. Then play for however long till you get the smell, turn the volume all the way down touch it again. If it is quiet warm, you are either clipping or overpowering the sub. Or a little of both. If you don't have any proper tools to check the sine wave(oscope or similar). Turn the gain down some. Then let the sub completely cool off. Then replay the setup to see if the smell returns. If so, you are still clipping. May need to repeat this again until the smell is gone. Also, your headunit could possibly be clipping the signal before it even reaches the amp. IIRC, Pioneers can only be turnt up a little over halfway before it clips. This could be your problem also. BTW, when you smell this odor, DO NOT PLAY IT anymore longer! All these people saying check with DMM, I'm curious how you say he does this? Quote
Dcsoundlabs26 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Posted April 2, 2011 Its funny, my h/u is a pioneer. Makes sense it could be clipping the signal.

PurfectlyInsane Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 If you are turning it wide open, yes it could possibly be clipping the signal before the amp. Quote
windowtinter Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 i have scoped a few of the nicer new style pioneer units and if sub lvl is flat you should get a lil more than 3/4 volume before clipping with a 0db tone. the only coil i have seen go down on a DC that was actually the coil letting go was a SD8k on a pair of xl's on a real hard clip other than that i had a guy turn one black as coal on a lvl4 with lvl5 coil (before the new stealth coil) the coil never let go but the glue broke down and caused the coil to shift and eventually rub through. long story short you are CLIPPING. like was stated above touch the cap if its warmer than just a lil bit thats gonna be a hard clip, depending on power an xl should take a lil clip for a good while but is DEFINATLY NOT RECOMMENDED!

matt402 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 i have a newer pioneer hu & when i o-scoped it i had the bass on the hu @ +4 (outta +6) & could still go to volume 54 (outta 62) before any clipping. BUT every install is different, just take the extra time & $ to do it right & it will perform great =]. Quote
deeje Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I gurantee its because the sub is new give it 2 weeks and it'll go away i've had 4 xl's all of them did the same. Quote --2004 Toyota 4runner New Build Log -2002 Acura Tl-S Old Build Log Team DC Audio spl dust is an option you can get on the coils... it's great for extra 1000 watts of power where can i get this spl dust and how much is it. is it hard to apply? lol
PurfectlyInsane Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I gurantee its because the sub is new give it 2 weeks and it'll go away i've had 4 xl's all of them did the same. This is why I advise him to touch the dustcap. How do you know he isn't clipping it? Don't guarantee nothing you don't know for a fact. This guy could take you advise, ignore the smell, and end up blowing his sub, because you really didn't know for a fact. That's one problem with internet forums, people askes questions, and get answers from others who act like they really know something but don't. Save us all the headache. People really need to realize their comments could have effect on peoples life. Quote
