[QUOTE="efm80, post: 5038627, member: 597416"] my setup is in my signature: I just got everything installed 2 weeks ago and everything was brand new. Been having 2 problems: 1.) On Big bass peaks I have noticed the bass drastically reducing like its "cutting out". I can't tell if its one sub cutting out or just both decreasing in output. It happens not often so it is hard to test it to see. I am thinking possibly voltage problems, but with a Kinetik 1800 and BIG 3 I am not sure. What do you guys think is causing this cutting out. It's like on the bass peaks it tries to draw the power but fails then a couple seconds later it comes back to full output. so weird!!??? 2.) When I have it bumping hard I notice the subs or at least the ports being quite stinky. Almost like a burning smell when you put your nose up to the ports. And when I bump for a bit and then open the trunk I can really smell it. The subs all seem to be fine and sound great. The gains were set to JL specs with the test cd and volt meter and I can hear no distortion/clipping. I have read subs can smell when first new. Any ideas what this smell is from??? and maybe there is something wrong and both of these problems are related, but please add any input or thoughts to my two questions. thanks so much! eddie [/QUOTE]
