[QUOTE="audio_phill, post: 8723200, member: 605512"] Different coil coatings smell differently. Lack of cooling can cause overheating. Movement restricted minimizes travels, reduces cooling. A 1700W @ 2 ohm amp is based on a non-reactive load and perfect voltage and @ who knows what freq. Your sub will have impedance rise from movement and restrictions in movement from an enclosure. Clipping and distortion are the biggest issues that cause heat. Your sub has more resistance @ Fs and at enclosure tuning. If Fb is @ Fs, then the load on the amp will be much higher than nominal/Re impedance and trying to get power from the amp will run it right into clipping. [/QUOTE]
