1mtx1 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 i have a 03 tiburon gt with a 110 amp alt and kinetik 1200 in the back and a pioneer 3100d. my sub is a 15inch fi ssd in a 4 cubic foot box tune to 35 hz with 50inchs of port area,off a sundown 1200d. I have four ga in my car and i upgraded my grounds under my hood with 1//0 ga. I am not getin bad volt drops at all and i have my subsonic at 32 hz and no bass boost on my amp and no bass gain on my deck. My deck goes up to 40 if i put it at 28-30 i start to smell what i think is my coil. I am wired at 1 ohm and i checked the sub over and over and all is good. I tryed to lower my gain and i still get this.Could it be the box being to big or is it that my amp is putin out to much power at half gain seting for my sub? cuz i know the sundown will put out close to 1500 watts at 1 ohm if i can keep my volts up like i am. ps i think my deck is 2 volts but i could b wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1mtx1 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 i see a few people lookin im sure some one would have an idea. i went out befor and did some testing and im sure my sub is not seein to much power. i was playin some music for10 min or so i would say i was at 26 or so on my deck and when i stoped to get gas i could smell what i think is the coils. i know my box might b a issue but im not sure it is not painted nor is it carpeted.the smell is close to the mdf smell but has a hot smell as if the glue from the coils are coming undone.

1mtx1 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 he said the bass on the h/u was 0 and same for the bass boost yup, my deck is at -2 and there is no bass boost and my gain is a tad under half way. im sure i should lower the gain a tad im gona try that and see. i would think its clipping but my sub is seein all clean power and im not getin bad volt drops at all. Ill try to lower the gain and go from there. i might go with a new box somthing smaller after sub and port 3 cubic feet, at this time my sub is sitin in a box that is 4 after sub and port area.

jizazz12 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 how long are you playing it at that volume? even thoe your sub is seeing power that is within it's r.m.s range,if you beat on it for a long period of time your coils are going to get hot and they will get smelly.
