gckless Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I would agree If you were clipping, the amp would also be getting warm quickly, right? I would think so. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

TRTC360 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I don't understand where this electrical is incuffient might be causing the smell came from. I beat the absolute living shit out of my 2 XFL 12's (1000rms each) on my 3.5k @ 1ohm for months on end and they never got smelly, coils looked perfect too, and that's with playing down into the low 10's and purposely pushing the amp into hard clipping. Not one issue. I love your build man,but I doubt your issue has anything to do with box size, electrical, or how your amp is tuned.

toddATK Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 first post, dont flame the n00b. ive followed this build since you started this log, and i love everything so far. one question i have to ask, just thinking outside the box here, could the proximity to the roof have anything to do with it? i know many have built similarly and not had the same issues, but, could you not be compounding the "smelly" issue and causing excess heat by not allowing the sub ample headroom? again, im just trying to think outside the conventional here... keep it up man, this will get sorted out.

Hate to say it but I think the box is a failure for me. I have a feeling it's just way too small. I might try to stuff it to see if that makes a difference or not. first post, dont flame the n00b. ive followed this build since you started this log, and i love everything so far. one question i have to ask, just thinking outside the box here, could the proximity to the roof have anything to do with it? i know many have built similarly and not had the same issues, but, could you not be compounding the "smelly" issue and causing excess heat by not allowing the sub ample headroom? again, im just trying to think outside the conventional here... keep it up man, this will get sorted out. I don't think that's the issue, but at this point it could be anything I guess. I don't know where my electrical became suspect, but the sub is seeing clean power. A direct result of low electrical, and the entire reason people mentioned it, is because of hard clipping to the driver. Those clamp tests showed clean power. Electrical is out of the question IMO.

RossGo Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I wanted to recommend stuffing it, as it is proven to increase apparent box volume to the sub. But... That basket is so wide, I worry about it moving into the wrong spaces I have 9 pounds of it in my box, but the 12 spoke basket keeps it in order. Yes I have a lot of stereo weight.

TRTC360 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 a smaller than recommended box will not cause the issues he's having.
