Hey guys,
I have a Team Jugg 18 rated at 2k rms and (allegedly has 4 inch p-p excursion) dual 2 ohm config. It is in a 7 cu ft box with a port area of 90 sq inches tuned to about 30 -31 hz (port is external). I have my amp tuned to 88 volts to my max listening volume from HU.
So 88*88/4=~2000 watts. Tuned with -3db tones.
after like 5 min at rms, it begins to smell a little, Im a little worried it could be the coil. (was listening to Boom (37hz) by Protohype when I noticed the smell.)
The amp is an old school MM4000.1 so it can do rated. Voltage stays above 13.3 at all times, (car idles low //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ) I have 240 amp alt, 70 ah up front, 140 ah in back and 2 sets of maxwell caps in back. Box was built quickly and I think there is the smallest gap that I will be fixing here soon. Could the smallest hole in the box cause the woofer to overwork itself? Amps ssf is around 28-31 hz, no small delineations, i have to estimate where it is exactly cause it just has 15 and 35hz marks.
O-scope shows signal is clean, HU does not clip rca's. Other ppl have appeared to have pushed the sub harder and longer without damage. I may try to reseat the sub and ensure gasket is nice and flush and get the small hole patched up. Small hole is just a sliver of a crack. What else could be the cause of this? I know some people say a glue smell is different from a burning coil smell, but I'd rather not burn anything. Sub has not really had a break in period so to say.
Thanks guys
