SnowDrifter Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Get home from school, power up my amps, and I go to play a song. Its a chopped version of Beats 4 My Van. Literally 15 seconds into the song(where the break in the bass is) I smell burning coil(or at least I think it is. Smells just like hot clutch). So I turn it down and inspect: The sub rubs like it's blown, but both coils read the same as day 1 (1.2 ohms).

SnowDrifter Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qVnttdrOPY There's some life left, but none that I want to play music through!. I'll probably blow it tomorrow - debating whether wall socket or just hardcore amp power.

eltortuga94 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Damn man, you've been having some bad luck lately. But that is weird that your sub would start doing that. Have you played that song before on that sub? Quote System: Basically Stock In process of upgrading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Fuckin sucks. Wonder what went wrong. Honestly, I think it was one of those 'perfect storm' type moments. Clipped song + woofer playing ~tuning point of box = tons of dirty power and not much sub movement to cool the coil. Or at least that's my theory Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_racin4 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Have you not had problems with that sub for a while?
