[QUOTE="retrojordans, post: 7261245, member: 630134"] Feel the amp when you smell it..If it's hot it might be amp. If a coil was consistently being pushed to the "smell" point it would just burn and fill the car with smoke shortly after smelling anything if not turned down/off asap. That amp is a beast, if you don't give it adequate current it will heat up. This includes alternator to battery in heavy gauge too...not just battery - ground. You may not be getting all your alternator can give the battery, if the system is drawing on the battery a lot, your alt is struggling and you may need to turn down the amp/head unit or upgrade some more stuff.
