TheNewbie Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) check the coils on your sub individually make sure they are reading right....coil got smelly then this.. could be bad news bears cope not tho will check now, I can check through terminal speakers right? Instead of taking it all out? Edited June 14, 2012 by TheNewbie Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

pa-pa-platypus Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 if its not too much of a bitch to pull it out id go ahead and pull it.. if it is you should get ur reading from your speaker terminal that gives you an idea if somethings up.. id go ahead and give the sub a once over tho if i could if i was having your issues man Quote This isn't teeball.

Noel989 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. Did you use the -5db tone for just your amp or both the deck and amp?

Once I aired out the car it started working again.. I wanna think it just got really hot in the car. Te amp is hot as hell. I haven't been playing that's just from the sun.

pa-pa-platypus Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 yeah youre good then... always a good idea to keep on eye on the health of your subs...burn up subs can = burnt up lots more things lol like amps n what not Quote This isn't teeball.

TheNewbie Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Why did the amp pop into protect then? Just because it was that hot in the car?

Joe X Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Read the subs(s) resistance of all the coils if normal engage the subsonic filter of the amp and set it a few hertz below your tuning frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That problem is resloved man, more worried about why the amp popped into protect. Ok but better read the DC resistance as presented to the amp, at the amp speaker terminals with everything connected, just removing one polarity. for 1 ohm impedance should read 0.7-0.8 or so. Thermal protect is normal if you push the amp in hot weather BUT the subsonic filter lower the amp's temperature operation by preventing inaudible energy to become amplified. So engage it. Try the amp away from hot weather like in the night with the SS engaged and if it pops then you may have something going wrong.
