[QUOTE="frenziedhstge, post: 8634448, member: 674478"] I have a platform 2 psi high performance version that runs at 1800wrms. I currently upgraded my amp from a hifonics zrx1816.1 to a Orion xtr 2500.1D I have the sub wired in series with the amp seeing a final load of 2ohm as it is a 1ohm woofer. I tuned the amp properly there is no distortion bass boost is all the way set to 0 the Master/Slave switch is set to master the LPF is set @ 80hz the phase is set to 0 and the sub sonic is set to 25hz. I'm having troubling wrapping my head around why the sub would get so smelly so quick playing it at full tilt for 5-10 mins "full tilt" is volume 37 and I don't see distortion until volume 39 on the h.u so really I'm not going all out I wouldn't imagine I'm pushing more than 2000wrms @2ohms. Do you guys think it could be box related? Cuz I think my current box is 1.5 or 1.6 cuft ported if I made a larger box say around 2.5 cuft would that allow the sub more cooling abilities? It is definitely warm when you touch the dust cap but its not burning hot just warm to the touch and very smelly after 5 mins of playing at volume 37 out of 40. Keep in mind I do not see distortion on the h.u until 39 its driving me crazy as I'm the type of person that likes to have all the kinks worked out in my system. Thanks for any ideas, input on what may be causing this. [/QUOTE]
