Good Morning,
Here is what I have. I have a Rockford fosgate P3 10inch sub in the rockford fosgate box. The newer model sub. I have a Rockford fosgate T500 amp hooked up to it. The sub is a 500 rms sub. I had it for a year in my ford fusion and played it hard for hours with no smell or anything coming from it. Gain has never changed. I do have a bass boost knob, but barely even turn that up at all. I currently bought a new 2013 F150. Got a professional to run the wires for me and hook everything up. I can now play it for about 5 minutes and it starts to smell as if the voice coil is burning up. Any suggestion? Check the gain level? Too much power for sub? Like I said it never did this in my other vehicle. The subwoofer and amp are what my avatar picture is btw.
thanks
