Warm dust cone?

I have a JBL gti w12 mkii running off of a Hifonics brz 1200.1 at 3ohms, should the dust cone be getting warm after 20 mins of bumping at %80 volume?

Warm is normal, hot can be bad. How did you set the gain and ssf (if ported)? Do you smell anything?

Well, the amp doesn't have a "gain" knob, but I have the bass boost at half, the input voltage at 4v and the high pass/crossover at 100 hertz

I've made sure that it isn't clipping. I also have an MS-8 don't know if that changes anything.

It's what was recommended to me by a car audio shop near me, but people say with the MS-8 has pre outs of 2 volts, so that may be it
