BillKessel Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have two JL audio w6 12's in a ported box with both subs facing down toward port, when i put my face up to the port i can smell a faint smell from the subs? It does not smell like the memphis that i burned up but it is making me worry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 The JL's should smell like perfume when they get burned up, if not please go back to the dealer. (it's probably because the subs are still brand new and the glue still has to cure fully ) Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Sheena Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 its coil or glue.. either way its time to turn it down when you smell that. i think if you reach back and put your hand on the cone and its not super hot that its just the glue, but if its pretty hot, then its coil. dont quote me though Quote 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEVY4X4BLAZER Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Maybe you're smelling the inside if your box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillKessel Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 They never get warm? i have the headunit at 24/35 and my ipod 80% flat EQ. I dont bass out like most people do. Both of the subs make a scratching noise when i push them past half way. i dont know if that normal? Both subs are very easy to push it also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillKessel Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Maybe you're smelling the inside if your box. The box does have a leak where air goes through ( to the magent of the subs) since there inverted and the cones shoot down into the port i might be smelling that?

They are probably pushed to the max by the previous owner and the coil is probably f**ked up and the spiders aren't as effective as new because they are worn out.
