Kranny Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) yeah i dont think its that easy to clip a 400rms signal so hard that it makes a 2000rms woofers coil start to smoke. if the smell goes away after a few days/a week, then its just the excess glue burning off and its nothing to worry about.

CJ18 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 If you aren't giving the sub enough power to get the coil moving in the gap so that it will properly cool and you are clipping the signal, that could cause the smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heightzbest562 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 smells like an avg woofer getting too much power I don't think the clipping is too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 smells like an avg woofer getting too much power I don't think the clipping is too bad lolwut? There's guys on this forum giving XL's 8 to 10 times the amount of power he is, cleanly. Quote On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

reg93f150 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 why are you only giving the sub 400 watts? arent they rated like 2000-2500 rms? lol but i guess just make sure your not sending a clipped signal and maybe make sure your amp isint getting really hot too.. Quote ALL CREDIT TO XX1 FOR DC BANNER down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups strapping 2 amps together ? like bolting them next together? using bungy cables to hold them down? or wiring separate amps to each sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Here is another question, how do you know how much power you are really giving the sub? What did you use to tune your amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
