ben1994 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Currently running a hifonics brx 5000.5 (actually does put out a true 1000 watts rms at one ohm) with a DC Level 3 15, with level 4 parts and the cone upgrade. 98 camry, stock electrical system. Interstate Batteries best agm battery ($280). Running knukonceptz 4g ofc wiring kit. Currently only running about 1200 rms out of the amp. Custom Box for the DC, 3.25 cubic feet, tuned to 30hz. Low pass is set at 70hz. There is no subsonic filter on the amp but from my understanding being tuned that low one is not needed. Set my gains with a smd dd-1, as well as I tuned it down incase the dc cant hold any more power than it is rated. Voltage stays fine unless at idle, at idle it drops to 11.5-12.5 volts when the sub is really moving (stays above 13.6 volts when rpms are above idle). If I play the sub at full tilt (again with the gain knocked down a little to account for the power handling) for 10-15 minutes I get a voice cell smell. The sub is been played well over 40 hours so I doubt it is the excess glue burning off. Any ideas what is causing the coils to burn? Voltage drop while at idle?

alaskanzx5 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Dirty music? To small of an enclosure preventing the sub from fully moving which helps cool down. Voltage drop can put the amp under stress creating clipping Did you adjust any sort of boost or sub level after seeing the gain with the dd1? What track did you use? 0db,-5db, -10db? Did you check the volume max unclipped volume? Pushing past that? t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

rockFord_Expedition Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Probably thermal. How do you know what youre getting out of your amp power wise? I would also say that wiring is, or at least could be a bottleneck if you have 4ga running the whole way. Those effects could trickle down to the subs.

Rich Schenk Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 TO me it sounds like ur alt is starting to go. If ur voltage goes down to 11.5 at idle seems super low. Is that with everything on or with system on? I would upgrade that power wire from battery to 1/0 ofc ands do big 4if u haven't in 1//0 ofc as well. I would do wires and if voltage is still crap then get as ho alt. Singer, dc power, or mechman On 3/28/2014 at 4:22 PM, KyLar96 said: Its all about the music anyway.....

Kyblack76 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 what over lap (track) did you set with the dd1, and do you know what your deck number clean is? edit- also... rev the damn motor if you see better voltage at rev VS idle. Thats not rocket science. that said,.. at 11plus volts, i doubt thats your "smell issue" .. just me..

After re-reading it for the 9th time I finally saw the .5 for the amp which makes more sense. I was fast reading each time at a .1 enstead.
