chapo123 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 okay this is gonna be a long post, as some of you may know i just got 2 12 lvl 3's. with a t1000.1bd. with a box tuned to 35hz with the ports on the left and the subs on the right. (2 4" aeros flared end) and we hooked em up. sounded fine and slapped pretty fucking hard. i noticed they were kinda out of phase ( the one close to the ports was moving way more then the one farther away from the ports) and the gain was set with a dmm, at volume 27 out of 35 at 1600rms (birthsheet said 1639 at 1 ohm). so we know we werent clipping, everything was down on the hu. we were slapping at a parking lot and as soon we pop open the trunk it smelled like a bitch!! burnt smell. so we quickly turned em off. and i pushed down on the cone softly to make sure they werent blown and they didnt make a scratching sound or anything. but when i touched the dust cap on the one on the far right (away from ports. the one that didnt move as much) the dust cap was so fucking hot. WHY!?? friend said it mighta been a loading issue but idk what that is? pretty sure it wasnt clipping. im just confused. the ports smelled bad. the subs still play but i unhooked em to be safe. please help me im really confused if you need more info just ask. they were slapping really hard (everything was flexing and it didnt sound distorted it sounded really clean) Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotdog Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 How long were you slapping on them? Subs rated at 600 rms / 1200 peak your putting 800 rms to each sub? could be they are just getting hot from being pounded on Quote (NEW) 2004 F-150 Build Log -->http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/192208-hotdogs-f-150-build-log/ 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Build Log --> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/114380-hotdogs-2003-mountaineer-build-log-20-removed/page__gopid__1602379#entry1602379 2008 Equinox Build Log --> http://www.stevemead...g/#entry1475764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapo123 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 yeah, i would think it was from overpowering too. BUT the one sub by the ports wasnt even warm to the touch. AND it was moving way more then the one farther away. and the one that wasnt really moving as much was hot as hell.. and i checked the wiring and all coils are hooked up and everything Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history.

fox_racin4 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 the subs closer to te port is moving more? i ran 1500rms to my level 3 10s ( with level 4 coils and extra spider) no problem at all so i dont think its the power Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapo123 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 and whats really weird is when we first hooked it up the one on the far right moved more then the one closer to the ports (the one on the right was broken in the left one kinda was, so i played low volume till they loosened up (didnt take long) then that happened.
