Walled_accord Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Electrical: 130 amp alt 4 gauge big 3 70ah agm under the hood 1 run of 2/0 welding wire to the back 110ah kinetic hc2400 in the back with 2/0 welding ground lead 1/0 KFC sky high wire to the amp System: Ct sounds 3000.1 4 Sundown SA 15 wired to 1 ohm So the first 2 weeks were fine going full tilt nothing weird then. About a week ago I noticed after full tilt the subs were a lil warm and seemed like they smelled a lil. At about the same time I noticed my voltage immediately dropping to 12.3 or lower from 14.7. Rarely dropping below 12.0. Could it be that I don't have enough voltage and it's causing the amp to heat the subs up faster than it should. I also notice when I'm driving that voltage doesn't drop as low of course but it's also a lot louder and they don't seem to get warm at all. Could it be that my alternator isn't enough or is going out and the voltage is being a bigger issue than it seems? Side note I have a 240amp on the way no matter what.

Keith77 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I would check your gain... How did you set your gain. WHat volume does your head unit clip at? Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

Walled_accord Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I would check your gain... How did you set your gain. WHat volume does your head unit clip at? It was set with a SMd dd1. It's a pioneer x4800. I only go up to 30 on the hu. Its where both my highs amp and bass amp is set to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walled_accord Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 U have to be clipping I'm putting the same power to 3 SA-10's and they love it, your alt isn't enough That's what I'm thinking but wasn't sure. But it never really drops below 12.0. I've got it to 11.9 twice and that's it. I know the subs can handle a lot more which is why I'm kinda confused on why it's happening.

Krakin Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The smell matters. Does it smell like fire/smoke or does it smell like a rubber? Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Walled_accord Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Are the subs new I've had plenty of new subs smell from glue The smell matters. Does it smell like fire/smoke or does it smell like a rubber? They are 3-4 weeks old. It's not really a burning smell. Didn't pay to much attention to the smell it's self but I only smell it when I turn the subs back down.The dust cap is only warm when they smell and I also noticed the air coming out of the port was warmer than what I've felt before. My old 12s would get way warmer before they smelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
