94jettameowpsst Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I recently bought 2 mayhem 18s running off of a 4500d with 2 xs 3400s and an optima yellow and a 200a alt. I don't drop below 12.9 v at full tilt but if I recall my coils were kinda dark when I got them, but want some input if u think they're burned?? They don't and have not ever gotten stinky, maybe the caps get warm to the touch but that's after 30 minutes of hard play. I had posted I smelled burning plastic before when I got them initially but I found a melted ground wire for my blower motor bc I had my heater core replaced and the wire was getting hot. Anyways here it is They're literally both identical looking so I have 1 pic. Also, gain on the amp is at half way, little less actually, on a pioneer d4300. 150.1 @ 38hz142.3 @ 20hz (windows down)Only 2 batteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ18 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 just the part that you can see looks fine. THat doesnt mean that it isnt burnt lower down the coil though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94jettameowpsst Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Good to know I just saw a few pics of a few other people's subs coils looking like new pennies and I just took a peek at mine and made the wtf face. I mean I'm not worried about them blowing up or anything along those lines but I just can't remember how they looke when I got em 150.1 @ 38hz142.3 @ 20hz (windows down)Only 2 batteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomaguy1 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Some coils are darker then others depending on the glue used From the bad pic it looks OK Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Coils are made in all shapes and sizes as well as colors. I've seen them new penny shiny and VERY dark grey (they came pre coated) That piece of coil looks fine- lets hope the whole thing looks that good. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.
