ncc74656 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 The sub is not old so I was under the impression the smell was the break in period. I've seen subs blow before by clipping but I've never seen one catch fire. nothing, gutted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyblack76 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 that pic shows those leads were clipped to fucking hell and back The leads being "sandwiched" between the spider on top and bottom, (I believe to fight tinsel slap) MAY cause the leads to "touch". Instead of flap around IF they do break. Do I make sense? Just tossin that out there.

Kyblack76 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'm just really surprised you were able to do that damage. MOST the people I know running sp4's are purposely slight clipping these subs. For months. Years even. And, with more power. I dont get it. That HAD to be some very very heavy abuse????

This was my first thought as the ones i've seen catch fire have all had the spacers on them. Ah well .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicks Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 What frequency was played to scope the amp? Could of scoped it at a different frequency then the bass boost, therefore you wouldn't see the clipping. ...moral: Don't boost.
