[QUOTE="PhatTonyDeMarco, post: 1259895, member: 560787"] Just because you are not overpowering them does not mean you can not damage them... You could possibly be clipping the amplifier, putting a large strain on the sub; this is not good. The smell is probably the glue on the voice coils burning off before they actually reach their thermal limits. Get yourself a DMM and set your gain properly, and turn the bass boost off. You have some nice equipment there, now just make it last. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
