Noobtastic14 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 The sub getting warm is a side effect of normal operation and should be expected. If your woofer gets blazing hot, so hot you can't touch it or it smells that is not normal and you should adjust your gains to avoid clipping or only play in short burts and allow the equipment to cool before causing damage. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Ballen194 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I doubt it's the box at all. IMO its probably your amp. Giving it a clipped signal gets it warm pretty fast. How big is your amp? Chances are your really trying to push that sub (skars love power) and your pushing your amp to clipping. 98 Isuzu Rodeo Pioneer Deh-6300ub SUBS*Upcoming* SSA Xcon 18 4th order AMP Banda 3500 Mids/Highs Pioneer EQ Clarion EQS746 ETC.

Its a misconception that clipping is the ONLY cause of warm woofers, Well that's why companies incorporate cooling into the motor so it can handle more power do it will most likely get warm as drew (noobtastic) said But it shouldn't get really hot. That would be caused by box error (which is pretty much ruled out for this situation) or clipping which creates unnecessary heat and more than the vc can handle=blown I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
