RickyFriery97 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Another thing to consider box aside is just because you have a product that can take X amount of power and another that puts out Y amount of power Doesn't always mean you can hammer on it ALL day. Anytime you have a product playing at these power levels you are going to create heat. And A lot of it. A little common sense needs to play out when you have a larger stereo. Just cause a car can do 140mph, doesn't mean you should do it for the next 500 miles Also, what may work in one persons system, may not in yours. There is so many variables to everyone's setup i know, and i completly agree. i dont slam this sub all day, shit not even a full song most of the time. reason i bumed this is cause i got this sub smellin bad, way to quick the other day. within less then half a song. it was a pretty low decaf song im thinkin about 30Hz. im just worried about damaging the sub over time really. and i do like my lows. so if i can figure it out and build a new enclosure with a low F3 point id do it Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old dude Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have all the best test equipment oscopes and all. Three HO alternators and a huge battery bank. I can adjust amps too a safe point with test tones but here is what happens to a lot of people including me. When playing music you can run into a track where clipping was recorded into the track on purpose. One guy that does this a lot is Trent Reznor AKA nine inch nails. I can go for weeks without a smell then all of a sudden there it is and at a volume level that’s not even close to pushing the limits of my subs. so when I read this and I see where people are saying certain songs cause a smell I kind or figured I ought to post up this little bit of knowledge for ya.

Chode69 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 when i FIRST hooked up my XL 15s to my 5k i got some smell but they were FRESH out of the box and i think it was just some excess glue and resistance from the brand new spiders...now i rail on them and they dont even get warm...havent had smell since.

Chode thats what i thought it was at first too, first power up was on a AQ2200D @ 2 ohm (D1 sub) and i dont think i got it that stinky. then wired it down to .5 and could get it stinky Now its running on a RF T2500BDCP @ 2ohm. on a low song i can get it stinky baddd, like the entire truck. ive been railing on it for a while now. on higher note songs it doesnt get stinky that much. but on a low song its damn near on command and happens on less then half a song.

RickyFriery97 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Its tuning bro..and or clipping.. mine does the same thing. Try a new box tuned lower tuned around 32Hz, and everything set with the DD-1. and i mainly play decaf songs when it does get stinky. (on his lower songs) i wanna try a new box. like to get one from ray but he shut the design thread down.
