[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8522167, member: 614752"] Where have you been, Tony? Miss you at the shows. Try to get up to Sanford next month. If your subs are smelling you are giving them too much power. Simply back off when you start to smell them until they cool down a bit. On the bright side, your amp probably isn't really big enough to blow them really quick... that said, you really don't want to play them til they stink too often, that can't help but shorten their life. Also if your head unit is at -6 and you're overheating them your gain is set too high, you may well want to set that around 0 and dial back the gain on your amp accordingly. Less gain at the amp is nearly always better if you have a strong source signal. [/QUOTE]
