TheNewbie Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey guys, was playing today full tilt for around 30-40 minutes and I get a faint smell up front but noticeable smell in the port. I have a dc level 4 m2. Steady 13.2 volts, and Skar 1500.1 all tune with dd-1 using -5 test tone. My question is does dc tend to have a faint smell after awhile? Guess its possible the songs just clipped to hell, being that I was playing the same song. Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

b-dubs89 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 as i have heard it , after playing a while a little smell can happen pretty normal, but right away or really strong= DANGER , if the smell makes you uneasy back off a little bit . voice coils do get warm when gains are set to not clip after playing full tilt for an extended time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't able to play a certain part of the song tho but that's just the hpf and lpf working correct?

But if it sounds like it has a nasty weird punch of bass, then it's not.

TheNewbie Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Didn't unplug anything and it's going again.. Could it be because it's hot in the car?
