SPEER419 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Hey, I have just finished the big 3. Helps alot sitll a little diming tho. But anyway I have The mtx 12 9500 and the MTX 81001 amp ran a 2 ohm and the gain 3/4 turned up. Well after about 5-10 mins of bumping i can smell a smell. I cant really expain it. It is not like burned toast but it smell like somting burnt or somthing along that like. Sorry for the little info it is difficult to explain. Any thing will help. THANKS Quote I Like It LOWWWW
majorpayne Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Maybe you have the gains up too far and your voltage is dropping and the amp is clipping..have you set the gains with a dmm? Quote
andym85 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 could be the voice coil...if its a new sub then it may be just some glue burnin off the coil...if not, then u better keep an eye on it.. Quote i likes me some audio stuff...
SPEER419 Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Posted November 14, 2007 The sub is fairly new. Looked at voice coils and they look perfect. And what am i looking for when i use a dmm? Quote I Like It LOWWWW

SPEER419 Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Posted November 14, 2007 I look at them. Ill take it there is a special way to. Quote I Like It LOWWWW
jonathancullen89 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 the voice coil is inside the magnet, im not sure on the mtx but on my cadence sub there is an opening and if you where to "raise", for lack of a better word, the cone and see part of the voice coil. still it would be really hard to see anything. if you dont know what a burnt voice coil smells like go and find an old speakers and blow it up. take a good wiff and there you have voice coil burnage! if you can get it to start on fire or spark it looks really cool lol.

SPEER419 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) Well it doesnt smell like the mtx 4500 i just blew up... But I was cleaning the garage and I seen the box that it was shipped in. So i was getting some tools out of it when i got a wiff of that smell. I smelled the box and it smells the same as the sub... I checked the voice coils (well as i can see) The sub sill hits hard. It's only on the deep bass like "hypotized" when it really smells. I am just going to take it to the audio shop :mad: :mad: Edited November 20, 2007 by sexyspeer Quote I Like It LOWWWW
emperorjj1 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 if it only smells on the songs like that then you are burning the voice coil... depending on how u blew up the old one they may not smell the same. example i blew a XXX on a wall socket and it smelled completely different then when i heated up the coils on the MT and XXX Quote J.
