So I'm gonna be honest like I'm honest to my doctor. I've been having issues with my to alpine subs smelling. Not quite a burning coil, more like hot glue. They are 650 watts rms, and 4ohm. I have a cheap power acoustik rzr1-2500d, running at 1ohm.
I have tried many different gain configurations all of which do not cause (audible) distortion or clipping, im using the subsonic filter correctly, and do use bass boost pretty generously. I try and stay away from the HU bass boost.
On that topic I have a kenwood radio, not sure of the model. One of the DMX ones?
Lastly, I have a sealed(read bellow) underneath sub box with like .51 cubic inches in volume ( lmk if that sounds wrong. All this is from memory)
Now on the the crazy and stupid part. The box broke right down the middle. One of the subs is definitely not sealed. I have a new (nicer) box on the way that has like .61 cubic inches in volume.
And lastly on to my questions to get this going:
Is it the box?
Is it the cheap amp?
Under or overpowering?
Best way to measure and set gain?
Or if yall have other ideas please lmk...
Thx
