bdog Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 my friend calls me tonight "whos system i installed" and said hes getting a weird smell out of the port and wanted me to come for a drive. So i get in and it gets smelly in like 2 minutes so he turns the deck down to a really low lvl as we talking about what the smell could be . At this point the system has been at a low lvl for 5 or so minutes and something catches my eye i look back the one of the f&*king subs is on fire. My friend jumps out of the car while i had to make a choice take pictures or put it out. I hope i made the right choice lol. Sorry no pics!!! REP
bdog Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Posted October 15, 2011 no idea we will take the sub out tomorrow REP
bdog Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Posted October 15, 2011 looks like the leads got hot caught the spider on fire . kinda strange since there he wasnt clipping when i was there . maybe one of the amps has gone bad? REP
