Faulty Wiring

hey one of my friends got a new dual 2ohm sub, wired it down to one ohm but when he did it he wired the postive cable from one motor to the negitive on the the other and vise versa... it smelled and sounded real bad so we took it apart and when we found out what he did wrong we fixed it and it seems to work fine but it still smells real bad everyonce in awhile i was just wonderin if that would just be the sub breaking in or if he could have damaged his sub

what kinda amp and sub?

one of the VCs was wired out of phase, which was probably why it sounded bad. the smell could be excess glue on the coil, being a new sub, or he could be clipping the sub. if he's got the gain and bass boost all the way up, it's probably the latter, and he's probably a dumbass

he did it on accident but we fixed it and it sounds good now... but it still smells funny 3 days later... its a tc sound sub and a hifonics amp im not sure the exact models
