hey guys,

ive been getting this smell from my DD T1510's i just put in maybe 3-4 days ago. they should be broken in by now. i have put about 16-17 hours on them but after playing them for a while im getting a burning smell . my buddy has a dd 2512 that has the same smell and hes had his sub for a year. i felt the dustcap and the cone to make sure it wasnt too hot and it was just a little warm. am i putting too much power to them? is this normal?

thanks,

-eric

3-4 days will not be enough time to fully break in a dd sub. If you friend is still smelling his after a year of use he is probably clipping his amp. When new they will smell a little but it tends to go away unless your are over driving the sub or clipping the amplifier. All clipping does is produce heat.

they will smell when it gets really warm, its usually the excess exposed glue use to bond the motor...
