It only happens when they get there full 1000rms each for the length of a song than the smell comes. Its definitely not an overpowering issue, im thinking either for some reason my amp is getting to hot, or the subs are smelling funny because there new.

Sounds to me like your just over-heating the coils of the subs. Set your gain with a dmm and 50hz tone and see how that fixes it. The subs might mechanically be handling the power, but with a little bit of clipping you might be over-heating the coil.

Exactly, your heating the coils and the smell is the glue that holds the coil on the former. A little less gain and you should be good. Set it up with a dmm or better yet a o-scope.
