[QUOTE="GenY, post: 8738497, member: 680431"] I sometimes get a faint burning smell that sometimes smells like burnt plastic or maybe even rubber. The smell only lasts about a second or 2 and disappears and this only happens once in a while. I have a 1000 watt MTX Thunder 1ohm into 2 RF P3D4 subs which are rated at 600watt a piece and are wired to accept a 1ohm load. I set my gain and crossovers with the DD1 and the CC1. I also checked for clipping from the headunit which was 34 out of 35. I currently have my max volume set at 25. I have 4 gauge power wire and 4 gauge ground wire. My subs are wired with 12 gauge. My battery is an XS Power 4700 with a 150a alternator. My cars a basic Ford Focus SE. I'm just wondering if this is something that I should be worried about? Or is there a test I could do to see if maybe my amp is clipping somehow? I read that it could be extra resin burning off but idk. I play music from Amazon HD and sometimes from my USB drive. I checked head unit clipping from both sources before and they both were at 34/35. Thanks for any advice. [/QUOTE]
