TrunkMuzik Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 the gain was set at less then half to begin with so 1/2 to 3/4 isnt a good idea lol and talking abou the head unit, its a stock bose i turned the gain down to 1/4 today and it stopped the burning smell but its not very loud at all like i said, im gonna try to get help from somebody in person who knows what they are doing Overall, pretty sure im gonna stick with JL. Build a better box, and have somebody tune it right. i will be happy with that just got the kickers to play with. will prob bujild a box and test em out for fun. not really upset that people are talking shit about them cause they arnt my brand. most of the time when people talk bad about my system its just that it costs to much for a single 10 but im happy with it Without music, life would be an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm going to say clipping too. I had a pioneer sub rated at like 250 watts rms, ran it off a polk carbon amp rated at like 500 at 4ohms. I set gains with the dd-1 and could make that sub bottom out pretty easy. Never smelt any coil but i only bottomed it out for a few seconds. I could push it almost to the point of bottoming out for a whole song and it wouldn't get smelly but it got pretty warm. I know a wal-mart pioneer isnt the same as a kicker but it's the same idea. Clean signal can go along way. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.

Smurfboy Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 SMH @ people saying kicker is the problem. Clipping could happen to ANY subwoofer. C'mon, people. Like what most posters said, it definitely has to do with someone clipping to death. Turn down the gain control and/or turn off the bass boost (if you have it on). I always turn off the bass boost, though. I've run Kicker for many years and never got any problem with it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackedout Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Double check your wiring. Whether you have D2s or D4s, it should look like option 2 with your 1.5 ohm stable amp. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=2&woofer_imp=3 Hard to verify from your picture, due to the angle. But it looks like your not wired right. Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
