Burn marks on Tinsil Terminals?

[Guest jbinn]

ONE of the terminals on my woofer is like brown almost looks like rust, im almost curtain its burn mark but the coil is perfect looking and is 1.0ohms on each terminal. Is this fine? will it cause damage lol never seen this before... Could it be rust since none of the other terminals have it?

its probably clipping expecially on the amp in your sig

[Guest jbinn]

yeah probably... soo if i ease back on the gain it should be fine?

[AI James]

should be, should get her scoped sometime if you have access to one.

[Guest jbinn]

ya i dont have a scope unfortunatly

HOLY COW I was clipping my subwoofer by about 25v lol now its @ 28.28v where it should be for 400RMS.

god that sucks, do you guys think I did any long term damage? I set it back and im keeping it there until I get a new amplifier lol as far as I could see ONLY the one terminal was burnt the coils seemed fine and the other terminals are still silver.
