hot subs

i was doing a flex today and when i was done i put my on the dust caps and they were hot. now is that normal after a lil beat'n?

Hot=bad. That heat is the coil getting hot. If it gets warm enough the coil will blow

sounds like your either overpowering them or clipping them....or both. so.....dont do that.

They will get a little warm, but never should be hot

hmm i'll check that . the subs are rated at 1200rms and i'm putten maybe 800 each. i'll turn the gain down again but its hardly up. no bass boost. i have the bass on the deck at 3. out of 10

[corteznewbie]

well i turned the gain down more and when i did that i saw the phase shift was sitten on 180 and i flipped it back to 0. could that been part of the prob.? if i turn the gain down any more i will have no beat from the subs.

playing low quality songs can make u clip to not just amp gain

edit: spelling

90% of my music is from the tunez forum. so how can i check the quality?
