[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8725617, member: 675210"] I was worried about my Dayton Ultimax cause it was smelling real bad but then again I was trying to shove twice the rms wattage into its coils. I was trying to run it at 1 ohm and my amp (RF Prime 1200-D) @ 1 ohm is more than the Dayton's rated RMS wattage. So I am running it at 4 ohms and not only does it sound much better, it stays much cooler and no coil smell. 500w rms sub w/ 400w rms amp @ 4 ohms. If the coils stink and the cone is warm/hot... it's time to rethink the power you are feeding it. Coil smell should be minimal and only last for a break in period if at all, if powered correctly.
