gredysra Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) lol sorry ive been busy just got on here i guess first box is 7^3 with 2 6" aeros 12"s long. i did a 49 at 44 and then went back up and was at 147 midway though a sweep and then amp went into protection and then it came out and then i did a little demo at full tilt and then it blew sub and amp were cool and nothing on fire lol... as i was looking at it and tinsels on spiders were fine but at the coil it literally burned through where the tinsel lead goes through the former and then the leads both sides are the same and the coil isnt black or even brown it wasnt clipping at all and volts were at 12.4 at full tilt so dont blame tht i have the pic at the bottom would this be dc screw up or could it of been me?

CJ18 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 That is caused by clipping. If you used anything other than the 0db tone, I can almost guarantee that you are clipping. If you are burning through the former, there is clipping in there somewhere that is causing that heat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Also what caused the amp to protect? What are you wired to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosg_313 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) that is usererror on the coil. ANYTHING that happens on the windings like that, its user error. could be the box, could be the sweep you did (remember, lower frequencies can do that to the coil and burn it exactly how your coil looks like. i played my old sub too low and did the same shit, amp went to protect mode too...and of course. CLIPPING). edit - dam you CJ. lol jk Edited April 22, 2012 by carlosg_313 Quote How do the Japanese feel about bass?You know that since 03/11/11 Progene? I just saw that stuff on CNN.

gredysra Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 at .5 im thinking the first time when i was getting metered it maybe just broke connection a little bit maybe and so i turned amp off and back on it was green so i got out of the lanes and parked and i played a song at about a third of full tilt and it shut off and then i was like wtf looked everything over and couldnt see anything wrong and went back to watching after trophys me and my buddy went to the car amp was green i played welcome back decaf about 25 secs on full tilt and it went in protection and nothing was hot so i was like screw it and mess around with it in the morning got up started car amp was green and no sub i ran the coils and they were open on both coils took sub out looked it over kept reading open so checked to c if i could get recone and kurt said two weeks so i cut it up and seen the coil and thts my day play by play Quote 89 Ford Bronco 2 6 DC XL M2 12's 1 DC 9K Dual Singer Alts 7 Xs D3100s & 1 D6500 All Audio Techinx OFC 1/0 Doing 55s at 26hz!!!

heckvr4 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 yeah dude u were probably clipping , before buying /installing another sub make sure your not clipping anymore Quote 05 f150 4 18'' DC lvl6 2 DC AUDIO 9.0ks 161.3 @ 44HZ build log here96 tahoe http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160522-8-18xls2-dc-100k4th-order/page-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosg_313 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 sounds like almost the same story except i was playing a song down to mid 20s, box was tuned to 29hz and smelled like burnt for few mins. continue playing other songs around in the 30s and poof!!, went to protect mode every time i wanted to bump it and found the same thing on that pic, BUT the few winds on the top came off. i will have pics tomorrow of its happening. but i had a atmost exo 18 on a bc3500 wired to 1 ohm...
