smelling my speakers after dd-1


Recommended Posts

so I dd-1 and cc-1 my 2 fi btl 18s running at 4 ohms since I don't have charging system in my Silverado to run them at 1 ohm.

im running them off a mtx te1501d wired with 1/0. Anyways I did everything to the T on instructions as far as I know I crossed it at 80hz and my amp gain is almost all the way up without clipping and head unit was measured as well but I have been using it since thurs and at high volumes I am starting to smell my speakers burning and im wondering why since im only pushing these at 4 ohms with a little over 600 watts and it shouldn't be clipping, what did I do wrong. when I did my head unit I set settings to flat I did everything I was supposed to.

what db tone did you use. 0? -5? -10? i hope not -15.

more specifically, which tone did you use for the headunit, and where are your h/u setting now, and where is the bass boost on the amp during all this?

edit

spelling

What do you use as a source? Do you normally have and equalizer settings turned up, or bass boost, loudness, etc? If you used the CD to set the gain but you normally use the auxiliary input or a USB input, the head unit might not carry over the same audio settings for the different sources. So you may have set the gain right for the CD source but the other sources aren't "flat" so you could be sending a clipping signal. It depends if you head unit has "global" audio settings, mine doesn't

That happened to me, I set gains with the CD but I have +2 mid on the USB source and that was enough to show up on the DD-1.

why do you need bass turned UP on the eq? keep it on 0 or negative. absolutely no reason why you should have it up from 0.

did you rip the cd to the iphone or something? because bluetooth is different source-wise than cd. different clip points, and such.

You dont set your bass boost, you set the gain on the amp only
