Mmats user Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have two Mmats p3.0 subs in a 6 cube ported enclosure 3 cubes each tuned to 35 Hz with a Mmats 2100.1 amp 800 watts each sub...my question is I smell subs after playing heavy bass for a moment...i usally turn the volume down once i start to smell the subs ...how bad is this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 That is very bad. This usually means that your are overpowering the sub THERMALLY. Meaning your coil cannot be cooled enough for the kind of current that's passing through it. So it burns. The thing is MMATS amps ain't no joke. They are efficient and they are underrated. It's prolly putting out more power than you think. Turn down your gains a little or your subs will deteriorate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmats user Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 let me re-word my ?

Yes you can smell Steve's coils after he been giving demo's, The trick is to know when to say when. Smelling your shit isn't all bad, not turning it down is. :^ Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Most people get to "know" their system and know what it can and can't do...Why do you think Steve doesn't blow his shit...He knows what they can do and knows their limits...Same thing when I had my old L7s...You smell it, turn it down... My friends L5s start smelling after a while and he turns it down...No problem at all :^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
