dwright27 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 you could be clipping them, or you could be burning the extra glue off the coils Quote 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

jonathancullen89 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 yes the gain is hardly turned up, it could possible be the glue. it smells really bad, i say turn down the HU a lil bit and see if it goes away. anyone know about how long it takes for the glue smell to go away? johnny imma have to smell that to see exactly what it is.
