michigancapri92 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Ok, I have two sundown e12s and I have set the amp with dd1 on track 5, and its running on eockfird t-1500 at 2ohms, amp puts out 1800@2. Now I know I have over 2x rms on the subs but I know im running a clean signal, but only one sub is getting warm and other is not. Its mot a super warm but its after about 30 sec of playing and you get that glue smell... my guess is that maybe a back connection on the push terminals, I am guilty of putting 2 10ga wires crammed into the terminals, just hoping for a second opinion or other suggestions. THANKS!

just1moreamp Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Dont think the sundown E12 is going to last long on that power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Which one is closer to the port? Loading issue maybe so the one that unloads is moving more air around the coil keeping it cooler maybe?

michigancapri92 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Bolts through the box wires coils series and subs parellel. Aeroports in center so no port loading Edited June 16, 2012 by michigancapri92 Quote Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Bolts through the box wires coils series and subs parellel. Aeroports in center so no port loading That is definetly weird. You should be really careful with that power to those subs, they are only 300W RMS, your feeding 3x the power they are rated for. Did you build the box smaller than what is recommended for the subs?

michigancapri92 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Subs are 400rms but yes that is alit of power but I would think if its due to over powering both would get hot not just one? Regardless when I get back from Oklahoma I will be taking out the subs and wiring in banana plugs for the push terminals. The box is made in spec for sa12s just got the e12s at a cheap price so I ran with them for the time being.

bassface Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Maybe the one that is staying cool is the defective one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarball Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 chek your ohm reading on the coils (individual) just to see if there is any variation swap the subs in the box and see if the same one gets warm Quote CURRENT SYSTEM: Alternator: Stock alt on mids/highs Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v Batteries: (2) XS D1400s Power Cable: Double Runs of 1/0 KNU Kolossus Fleks Headunit: 80-PRS Sub Amp: DC 5.0k Subwoofers: 2 RE MT 15s /PSI dual .7ohm recones Subwoofer Enclosure: 9.1cubes @ 32hz - brutal.
