[QUOTE="danieldl, post: 6684255, member: 617903"] Hey guys, I just hooked up my brand new Type-R 10" (latest generation) to my PDX-1.1000. It is wired in parallel (4+4 ohms) to 2 ohms with gauge 16 wires (or something like that). I put it up in my Alpine ported enclosure and as soon as it plays really loud, there is a really strange smell going into the car. It comes from the vented area of the enclosure, all the air pushed by the sub smell really bad, a little bit like if something was burning or overheating. The amp has been adjusted to about 1/3 of the gain with a multimeter hooked up to the back of the sub's enclosure (around ~31v) with a bass song (but not a 50-60hz tone) while it was playing, just to be sure I'm not giving it more than 600W. Is is normal? Is it going to broke? I'm a little bit affraid. By the way, the amp is actually powered up with gauge 8 wires set, but I'm going to get some good gauge 4 soon. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
