Just thought of this. My HU is a pioneer mvhx-381bt it a non cd HU so my test tones and music are coming from my iPad(via usb)with iPad volume all the way up. I never checked to see where my iPad clips.

Could this be giving me the issue ?

that's under 130% of rated power, you'll be fine as long as you don't clip ittoo hard.

Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do.

Another thing I just realized is I'm a dumbass.

Amps were gained with a alpine cde-143bt two weeks ago. That unit went out and replaced with the pioneer. I'm a FUCKTARD. That's what I get for overthinking shit. Back the the drawing board

One more question

My HU has a 5 band eq and some preset ones.

Should I set the 5 band to flat or can I use the preset flat or does it make a difference?

Gain is proper now and it's been full tilt with volume at 51 for 25 mins. No smell and no blown subs yet.

Yall were right and I was a dumbass.

Thanks a lot

You called yourself a dumbass. We didnt. Glad you got it working. Sometimes you need to talk through it. We're here to help ( well they are, I'm just hanging around trying to learn something).

Still learning but have started gathering.
