Recommended Posts

about that skar evl. i want to try to sell it now that i have the dc xl to play with. you guys know the story behind it now. i want to know what you guys think its worth. coils still read pretty good its a d2 and cone, motor, spider, basket are in great shape. only problem might be the coils even tho they read fine. you can tell in the 3rd pic that, what it seems like to me, some of the epoxy holding the winding together got a bit toasty. it is a black aluminum coil btw.

So I kinda discovered that it's worst when playing some decaf. When hitting the lows for a couple minutes with the bass knob about 1/4 of the way up I can start smelling something funny coming from the sub. I checked my mids just to make sure they're not heating up also and they're not. Not even warm. Wtf 

Decaf leveled most of his music right at -5dB, you said you set your mono with -10dB, that means you have 5dB of amplitude range that is basically going to ride the rails (clipped to shit).... Clip clip city
