MTX J30 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 you guys say its ok to play my sub full tilt instead of breaking them in but after playing them full tilt i go back and touch the middle of the sub and its warm. is that ok?

fritosaregood Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 warm is ok. the center is where the coil is. its just heating up and the heat is dissappating up through the cone. My audiopulse axis has an aluminum cone and it says it helps cool it. What sub and amp do you have?

skittlesRgood Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 if your smelling electrical then your burning the coils. make sure your not clipping. if your subs are smelling at all, i would say that's bad lol.

raytard Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 there are a few tutorials here with how to set your gains either with an oscilloscope or a digital multimeter a new sub is going to smell, there is glue on the voicecoil holding it to the former and that commonly heats up and smells funky during break in. the bad smell is the copper actually burning. they smell very similar though, so be careful. you should be able to play them when they're new, just keep in mind they will loosen up over time and will experience some sort of a break in regardless.
