Sanitarium Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 With that 1 amp running the 2 subs and the cones warming up, sounds like you're clipping. Turn the gains down.

Guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 Depending how hard you were playing the subs for an hour. x2 this. if you were full tilt the entire time and they are barely warm, then thats fine IMHO.

Deschain420 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 x2 this. if you were full tilt the entire time and they are barely warm, then thats fine IMHO. Good call x3 A little warmth/heat is to be expected with electronics...especially after long sessions of pounding.
kmalinich Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 A little warmth/heat is to be expected with electronics...especially after long sessions of pounding. Could be said about some other things, as well. Good rule of thumb. Or finger. or... whatever.
