smell from speakers

[vandiar2 10+ year member]

EDIT probably better placed here:

alright so I set my gains with a dmm. the front speakers have a weird smell coming from them after slamming for 15-20 mins... they are fairly new speakers just got them about 2 months ago. my only assumption here is that I am clipping the speakers but not quite sure why.. my amp does get kind of hot but it NEVER goes into protect mode. oldschool kenwood 25 rms per channel at 4 ohms. sqrt (25x4) of course is 10 volts. i set them exactly at 10 volts with a 1k -3 db test tone. the smell is not strong, I literally have to be near the opening to smell them but I can nonetheless. should i be worried about this or is this typical with 2-3 month old speakers? thanks yall

My ADS 5.25s do the same thing when pushed hard. Probably some glue or coating on the voice coil burning.
