How smelly do your dc subs get?

[CJ18]

Not sure if this has been said, dont have time to read 3 pages.

Track 5 is a -10db tone. This is most likely what is causing the "stink". If you are playing music that is mastered in anything less than that -10, then you are clipping the signal going to your subs.

Retune with a -5(track3) and let me know what happens.

What Cody said and also, last night I was putting songs I downloaded online in audacity and everyone of them was clipped, some upwards of +4db.

I've said this once, twice, and i'll say it again. Damn near every single DC build i've sat in whether or not running rated power or a little more, or a lot more. They've always had a funky smell to me. Not typical burnt coil smell, maybe it has to do with the glue they use?

My level 4s always had a distinct smell to them that was not coil backed up by the fact that when I sold them the coils still looked new
