re se10 coil question

[mustangowner 10+ year member]

Kind of a silly question, but what color is the coil suppose to be when the sub is brand new? I can't remember, lol...

I took my se out and threw in an eclipse 88120dvc just for fun, and i looked at the coil on the se and it looked more of a dark copper color. I'm just curious, cause i have been sending it around 850, and i have noticed the cone gets kinda warm after about 15-20 mins of full tilt play time. The sub plays fine though.

thanks

Could be the ferrofluid that keeps the coil cool during high power situations.

My subs are way underpowered, just under 150 watts each and yet I can still be heard. I just might have to stick with Planet Audio amps. Best dam 100 bux well spent.
