2 of 4 Subs Getting Warm


SVB847

Recommended Posts

I was just looking for some quick input on something I have recently noticed. After playing my setup full tilt for a while I notice that the top 2 subs get warmer than the bottom 2 subs in my C pillar wall. They are just warm, not hot by any means, but something that had me concerned. I have checked and all of the subs are in phase, they are gain matched, all wired to 1 ohm and setup w/ the dd1. The subs are in a flat wall, common chamber, common port. The only difference from the top to bottom of my wall is the bottom two subs are hidden behind the rear bucket seats, the top 2 subs are basically behind the headrest. I figure it would be the opposite and the bottom two would be warmer since they dont have room to vent, but could it be the opposite? Anything else I can check or test? Thanks for any input and if I forgot any needed details please let me know.

Honestly didnt think of that.. lol.. that would be awesome if that is all it is.. that would put my mind at ease.

Could be something as simple as heat rises. :shrug:

From the heat rising idea, the heat will dissipate from the bottom subs and rise up to the top subs, which means they don't have the cold air to cool the coils like the bottom subs do. So that's a theory I suppose.

Thats another thing I was thinking.. Maybe there is more pressure at the bottoms since they are enclosed near the seat, but the top woofers can unload more easily since there is nothing in front of them.. :shrug:

1 amp per 1 sub.. so 4 subs and 4 amps

1 amp for 4 subs i assume?
If so

Bottom subs are loading against the seats, while the top have nothing to load on
