[QUOTE="Beastastic, post: 6664412, member: 604940"] Is is bad if my sub is getting warm, but I don't smell burning coil? Seems like it gets warm easy and when I turn the gain down its not nearly as loud and not pushing the sub like I want, but my voltage stays above 13v always so I dont think im clipping it. The amp is an AQ 2200 and i have it at 1 ohm. Also, what size speaker wire should I use? Right now im using 14 gauge speaker wire. Should I be using like 10 gauge, and is this possibly why the sub is getting hot? I dont see how 10 gauge wire is supposed to work cause it wouldnt fit in the terminals of the sub when I have to wire it up when I have to put 2 runs in each terminals for 1 ohm. [/QUOTE]
