old dude Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 i think i found the problem the nuts were loose that hold the wires on the back of the sub box. i thightend them up and retried for ten minutes and they stayed cold the whole time. my subs do get warm and i dont smell coil but i may have smelled a little tonight and man do i have a burnt finger lol.

X2 that. Is what I was thinking you have to torque them down or they will build up. A lot of heat I always go over them with goop after all connections are good and tight to keep them from backing off.
