Silver Member Username: SemperfiPost Number: 150 Registered: Oct-08 | yea it is set correctly, i used a DMM at the shop to set it, its not a burning smell my wife doesn't know what coke smells like but she said it smelt similar to heated up rubber?? i don't smell that at all but idk lol |

Gold Member Username: Surferdude9371Get loud or go home.... Post Number: 1722 Registered: Mar-07 | could it yes i wouldnt think so. some say set the gain with the dmm some say thats bad so idk it could be set wrong. are you sure you wired to the correct ohm load? bass boost on? |

Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, WI Post Number: 3561 Registered: Mar-07 | Just because you set the gain with a dmm doesn't mean that you cant hurt the sub lol. The smell isn't hard to detect. Smells like burning electronics. If you've ever started a resistor on fire for fun, thats what it smells like lol. Turn bass boost off, turn loudness off, turn your gain down a little, and don't be a fool with the volume. |

Silver Member Username: SemperfiPost Number: 154 Registered: Oct-08 | it doesn't smell like a resistor on fire so i should be good right? i just because the gain is set with a DMM i know it can still hurt the sub thats not what i was getting at, i meant the RMS of the amp and the RMS of the sub |

Silver Member Username: SemperfiPost Number: 158 Registered: Oct-08 | ^^^ can't really do that... i am a Marine i can't have real drugs if i do i can go to the brig... but yea i don't think its my coils, i think its the box my friend made because even today even though my sub wasn't on my trunk smelled like that so i think its something to do with that not but sub |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 6454 Registered: Jan-06 | maybe the sub is moving alot of air in the car and its comming from the seat of your pants with all the SyphuGonnaHerpAids getting it on. could just be the glue in the sub heating up if you arnt beating the sh;t out of it, and if your chargning system can support that amp and its set reasonably then you should be good, but double check your voltage. |

Silver Member Username: SemperfiPost Number: 161 Registered: Oct-08 | ok thanks matt i'll double check my charging system as well to make sure it can handle this system |
