ehall8702 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 So today i did the thing every audiophile hates to do, gutted my stereo out of my blazer. Its amazing how many,many hours you can spend putting everything in ur ride and then can pull it all out in less than an hour! Worse part is im going to have to drive it till i sell it with a basic cd player and some cheap coaxials, from almost 3k rms to maybe 60rms, gonna be a hard pill to swallow. Amyway, i pulled my sub out of the box to finish and bedline the box and noticed my voice coil is really dark, was wondering if thats a normal thing or not. Plays just fine, doesnt smell burnt and still looks in good shape minus the dark color. Should i be looking for a recone kit or should i not worry? Cant upload a pic for some damn reason, if i shrink the pic anymore you wouldnt be able to tell what it even is. Anyways its real dark colored. 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears. All done by me. stereo is Pioneer avh 600ex, all stinger rca, jp23 v1.5, skar rp150.4, and hertz hpd4. 2 SHCA 6.5 8ohm, 1 SHCA 3.5", and 1 DS18 tw120pro in each door. The 3.5 mid and 3.5" tweeters are powered by the skar rp150.4, the 6.5s are powered by the hertz bridged @4 ohms. Dual runs of 3/0 welding cable, 300a alternator, 2 Vmax AGMs up front. current sub is a AB XR 12 ( dual 2 ohm) with bottom spider cut out in 2.25 cubes at 32hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckeeler11 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Even if it was not dark when you started, many hours of heating up will change the color of the coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess its all good, gonna just keep running it and worry about it when it stops working correctly. 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears.
