Scapelli21 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Even according to the Sundown site, 4-5cubes is whats recommended with NS's. People run these in 4 all the time. I want 5.5 each and have been told thats too BIG! lol Quote 2003 Chevy Trailblazer LTZ Pioneer 980BT 16 SA-10's - 4th Order Bandpass NS-1 - 3 D3100's DC & XS Power, Audio Technix, Sound Deadener Showdown Team Sundown Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapo123 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 is it close to the opening of the aero? if it is that could be a prob. because that causes subs to basically free air and can bottom out easy 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...
Scapelli21 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I should also state that this smell happens on ANY song, not a low bass, or metal...ANY song. The sub itself, from the outside of course, looks perfectly fine...brand new even...and I'm not exagerrating. I had this sub, in this box, playing off a sundown 3000, for 5-6months with no smell whatsoever except for a time I played someones version of trunk bang that they slowed and I think added clipped bass on the way low note. Other than that...no smell. BUT, I did have some problems with it bottoming out near the end of its play til now on certain songs. I think maybe that whole boc design is just not good for this particular sub or something. This thing NEVER metered well either. IDK if I got a bad one to begin with or what, this thing is WAAAAAY beyond warranty lol.

Scapelli21 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I highly doubt there's an issue with the amp because my friend had it playing just fine for him for the 3-4 months he had it...he bought them new. Hook mine up and stinky stinky. This woofer has always gotten pretty damn warm regardless of the power, volume, length of play, etc. I think it might just need to be reconed.
