When it gets hot i can kinda smell a burning smell i just got a new box and haven't had this problem before. Also instead of connecting one sub to the other can i just connect them both directly to the amp and still be at 4ohms? Thanks for the help guys. Mar 5, 14, IL. Turn loud off on the headunit, turn bass down to 0 or flat, turn off bass boost on the amp. Whats the gain at? Jul 24, 57 1 San Antonio TX. RemmySa12 Member. Mar 6, 0 Frankfort KY. Haha i dont really know how to tune an amp i just turned it up to.
Half way and it worked for me until I got my new box and one sub started getting hot im gonna probly take out my box and recheck my wires make sure its all good. And also can i just directly wire my subs to my amp and still be at 4ohms? May 20, 0 Toronto. Perhaps one coil is disconnected? Whats the model number on the Type Rs and the amp? I had one sub getting hot before too, one of the wires for one coil came off so it was running on one coil.
All i know is I'm not running many watts to those subs and they can handle a lot more. Mar 15, 2, 0 Iowa. Check the voice coils of the burned one compared to the not burned one and see what ohms they read. This is exactly what I was going to say. Sounds pretty normal to me, but it's hard giving advice when I can't actually give a listen and touch the drivers my self. I live in Tucson and it gets just as hot.
As long as you don't smell any coil, see any smoke, hear any clipping distortion, and cone and dustcap aren't hot, you should be fine. When you are working the subs the dust cap will get warm. Not a big deal as that is how the air flows for the cooling in speakers. LOL, me too! You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy!
