[QUOTE="IgnoreMe, post: 3483467, member: 551352"] hmm well if you didnt smell it around the port then it probably wasnt the sub. for the voltage comment. i mean that the amp has to try to make that power. a bad ground that leads to a voltage drop will lead to the amp being starved for voltage. theres more to it and ohms law shows that resistance, current, voltage are all related and have an influence on each other. amps are basically low current, high voltage, and run cooler. or high current low voltage, and run hotter. your amp is being starved for voltage and the extra current is causing it to run hotter. if you dont have undervoltage protection (like some memphis amps) you will fry the amp for this reason. this is a real simplified way of thinking about it, but i think this might be easiest to understand.
