[QUOTE="Lowkey, post: 8767298, member: 637323"] I got the volt meter hooked up. I also replaced the speaker wire with some very high quality 10ga and rewired using the method in the image, making sure the wires were equal length. Then brought the box a couple inches closer to the tailgate. It occurred to me playing DJ Russticals songs may have contributed to my problem so I didn't play any of those. Played a couple bass heavy songs at high volume with remote knob at 80% (no clip light). It sounded louder (I think?) and I didn't get any smell. Neither cone warmed up. Voltage stayed from 13.9-14.1 Not sure if the changes I made improved things or not but at least I can feel more confident that I'm not damaging anything with how it is now. [/QUOTE]
