My type R's Smell tangy?

[sundownz Pro Seller]

The Type-R has different glues than DC and RE both on the voice coil and on the triple joints. Chinese coils smell WAY different than American when hot and so do the associated glue joint adhesives.

In any event... subs get warm when used, normal.

If you were putting 2k to each sub I would worry, but if youre putting what theyre askin for then you should be aye okay

You play it at max head unit volume for 50 minutes, or at your max volume level you turn it up?

When you say warm does that include when dust caps get warm? I was told (well this is what i got out of it) that if your dust cap is warm thats a bad sign. My BL 18 (brand ****ing new only used for about an hour) got warm on a stupid BXI 2010d and i think i started to smell kinda.. NOt sure if that was Excess glue or that P.O.S Brutus is clipping these to hell

Normal... the dust cap is sort of an air pump so most of the hot air in the motor comes into contact with it. This is fine if it is warm.

does it smell like bandaids?

After bumpin' for like 45-50 mins at max they start to smell tangy but you have to put your nose to the port to smell this.

Why are you putting your nose to the port to begin with?

If you only smell it at the port, that isnt too bad..I wanged a sub so hard one time It smelled in the cabin of my car and that small stayed in my car for about 2 days...that was clipping the hell out of a sub when I still thought that gain was a volume knob

So when i set my gain with DDM i know its a 50hz tone but should i use 0db or can i use -3db? when i set with 0db once it was REALLY quiet...
