Marquisboys Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah your clipping. Subsonic is probably tuned bad also. Along with clipping that can make that sub get very hot 2004 Grand MarquisAA Mayhem 18Crescendo 3500d6.5's AQ Pro AudioAQ Super TweetsImage Dynamics 6x9Soundqubed 125.4MB Quart 80.4144.2 db GONZO 2013 Chrysler 300S Granite Crystal Metallic Exterior Inferno Red Interior 5.7 HEMI AWD LMI Air Hammer Intake Corsa exhaust Custom Tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiebailiff Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I guess I'll find out when I get a couple extra batteries in there and use a dd-1 on it or oscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekybasshead98 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 That is very true. So clipping can cause it to get even hotter? Yes Clipping will eventually blow the sub.

Slinky Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Judging by your picture, I'd say the sun definitely plays a roll in the heat issue as well. I drive a hatchback and my amp is mounted right where the rear window is and that damn thing gets hot to the touch without even being turned on. Clipping could be happening as well. I say oscope that bitch and find out, which is easier said than done.

Only thing you can really do is either get the shit out of the sunlight or add in some kind of fan system which can be done for amps but not really for subs. Good luck man.

hispls Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Leave Florida. Seriously, there's no way in hell you're playing long enough for the heat of the coil to warm up a motor that size without burning up the coil. That is a "sunshine state" issue there.

I'm about to get a Tacoma and do a wall of 4 15s or 2 18s and I'm going to put my amps in a tool box in the back or build a custom amp rack and get a bed cover & put fans all in it so they stay cool, hopefully. For the subs, it should be as bad because the sun won't be hitting directly on the subs cone. If it is, ima have to figure something out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
