By the way, I played the subwoofer this morning at a similar volume as yesterday, turned down the amp a half a dial though, the gain is pretty sensitive so that goes a long way, anyway I can't smell anything. The smell is still there if you stick your head in the port but it's always there 24/7...

I have confirmed its 2ohm by checking the wiring, it's two 2ohm DVC's wired in parallel for a 2 ohm load, I can check with a DMM to ensure the actual load while accounting for resistance. I like my LPF set high to take load off my mids, my doors can only fit 5.25's and I have components amped...

Funny.

Agreed. I'm taking that and all the other advice I have received here. Maybe I should have waited a few months and got the two soundqubed SDC 2.5 12's Would have cost me twice as much though... I ordered the grills for them so I have to take the screws off the subwoofer soon anyway so I'll...

I plan to get a new amp and new box. Amp will come before box, it isn't a "burning" smell as I've said I know that's a bitter rubber wire smell like soldering smells like and melting PVC off wires. It's a sweet smell mixed with MDF my last sub had the same smell, but not as strong. It was...

I agree having a new box isn't a bad idea and have plans to get a new one but back to my point anyway, I like the way they sound they're punchy enough and the tuning doesn't bother me. It's a kicker amp so it has a set subsonic filter (on off switch) its 25hz at a 12db octave. I plan to buy a...

Ported. Tuned to 40hz I believe. They aren't bottoming out but I suppose it's a possibility that them trying to play below frequency could be the issue.

Subsonic filter is on, kicker recommends 25hz and that's what it's set at. Coils aren't terribly hot. After serious playing the cone is barely warm to the touch which I've been told is normal. If that's the case I'll get a new amp and set the subsonic filter higher. I'll take all advice. If need...

The box was made for the subwoofers but I have the exact dimensions. Dimensions: 32-3/8" W x 16" H x 17-3/8" D (Bottom) x 13-15/16" D (Top) The back is "slanted" Forgot to mention, subsonic filter is on at 25hz (exact Kicker recommendations) Power isn't an issue either, I have a voltmeter in...

I know before anyone even posts what you're going to say, use search. I've used search and read all the previous threads and they don't address my particular issue as it is. So I'll explain and see if anyone else has any advice or experience in this. Now, the subwoofers are new in an...
