How smelly do your dc subs get?


Recommended Posts

that shouldn't introduce any clipping, but that doesn't mean the music wasn't already clipped. But, that shouldn't be any different than if you played it from the CD

What power and what is your enclosure like?

Mine never got stinky. Level 3's on a DC 2k.

dual 2's with strapped 3.5k's in a box that Rusty gave me specs for, it is tuned to 36hzIMAG0644_zps3b9971f1.jpg

So, you're wired to 1 per amp? If so, that would be why they're stinky lol.

after rise there is know way their actually getting 3500 watts... I just went with the subs rusty recommended. I know its not power issue, it is clipping issue.

keep talking about rise when your playing music.... lol

If I have CD music and put it on a Flash drive am i good as far as the music quality stand point?

If you bought an album and then want to rip it onto the computer then it depends on the rip quality. 320kbs is probably what you should rip it at.

but lower rip quality shouldn't introduce clipping so it should be ok. The sound quality might be worse, but it should hurt equipment.

Okay so purchased the same song that made coils heat up instead of playing youtube version, retuned bluetooth way and it looks like so far that the problem is solved. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Thanks guys, wasn't trying to stray on thread but I feel it followed the same issue. Also, I did buy the music (Chicken hill, E-40, Psych Morrison, etc.) Although I did download all Decaf and Purple Syrup music so not too sure about that but I was mainly referring to the actually bought music as I was just curious since it wasn't actually me loading a disc. into my player (it skips with CD's anyways). Again thanks all

I like to set my gain car on, subs plugged in for a load on the amp.

Also: set gains using whatever source you plan on playing your music through. Whether it be iPod, cd, phone, thumb drive, etc

FWIW,

I can slam on mine for quite a while and they play fine.

As soon as I turn up the Sub Level and notice a bit of clipping on my O-scope, shortly afterwards I'll start smelling coil.

If you can smell them, its most likely clipping.
