Dillan Turvold Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I ran my subs a little hot one time, smelt a little somethin somethin out of the ports, now they seem to be playing sloppy, that the voicecoil going bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneerpoundingspl Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 If you push down on the cone equally and it feels like its stiff or coil rub you may have melted it. Another way i like to check is take the sub out of the box and shine a flashlight at the coil if you can see it looks dark or burnt good chance you roasted it Quote 134db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillan Turvold Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 i'm thinkin i fried a little section of the voice coil so the electricity isn't passing through quite like it should.. i don't have anything to check the ohms of it. i was planning on upgrading subs anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillan Turvold Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Got them a little hot once, for how long? i was running them on that setting for about a day, listened to dixie cup by krizz kaliko (long bass hits, almost the entire song) by the end of the song I could smell the coils, a little smoke coming out of em... i think part of one of them is a little toasted cuz i'm running them in parallel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbake223 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 cant find my DMM! but it was def wired to a 1 ohm load. I recently even removed the plastic pos magnet cover, i wonder if that had anything to do with it Quote 02 Ford Focus ZX3 hatch 4-Infinity Kappa 682.9cf's DC Lvl 4 Hifonics BRZ 1200.1 @ 1 ohm Kicker Wires Rockford RCAs Future Upgrades Knu 1/0 XS Power D1200 80 mil audiotechnix B stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
