Resistance would also be ok. I'm just saying to the OP, that smell is probably nothing to worry about. If you've ever smelt a hard clipped sub, then compared it to the DC smell, they are different.

The good o smell of glue. I have my level 6 with a D9, boxed tuned to 29hz and was smelling as first. But the. It doesn't smell anymore when I bump for like an hour. ONLY time it will start stinky is with a clipped song or anything above 38hz+ Quote How do the Japanese feel about bass?You know that since 03/11/11 Progene? I just saw that stuff on CNN. They said it makes your junk shrink all up. lol.im pretty sure the op wont even notice if it gets even smaller.

CJ18 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 The smell is not glue burning off. You are smelling coil, but it will go away once the sub breaks in. What happens is with such a stiff suspension as the level 6 has, there is not enough coil movement in the gap to allow proper airflow and cooling. Once the sub breaks in and the coil can move freely in the gap, it will cool properly and the smell should go away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
