Can someone explain? Top subs get warmer than bottom. Why?

Are the bottom subs "daisy chained" to the top subs?

" 4 - 15" subs in a flat wall. Port driver side. Sub wiring is the left 2 together, and right 2 together "

Right...but are you wired from the amp to one of the top subs, then from the top sub to the bottom sub? Or the other way?

Crudely drawn out to show what he is asking. I didn't understand it at first either.

I'm interested in this as well. My top 2 subs do the same thing, and my port is in the middle.

Have you moved the port yet?

Didn't wanna see this one go unappreciated lol

Waiting for someone to say 'cause heat rises'! :P

I've seen n8s answer mentioned a lot. Closest to the port.

I was totally gonna say heat rises! Wire lengths would be a good guess too imo, wasn't there some thread a week or two ago somebody complained about one sub moving more than the other and everybody was saying it was because his wire lengths were different? Shorter the run the more power it saw because of less resistance?

I didn't think it had that huge of an affect on AC though. DC huge but less drastic on AC

Oh, i miss understood.

I dont remember. I loaded the bottom subs first, so, id think THOSE see the amp first, then the top. But, it may not be that way.

Would that matter? the one first in line would run hotter? Is that common?

Its a loading issue........

I just want a beer! :drink40:

Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born.

My penis is bigger than your penis

I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.
