saz 1500d + american bass vfl extreme. how should my wiring be?

[HHRUMAD 0]

Hello everyone.

I was browsing this forum and it looks like the people here are more mature than other forums.......you know which one...

anyways, I have a sundown saz1500d v1 and an american bass VFL extreme 15"

All stock wiring and stock battery and I have 4awg about 4 feet to the battery which is located in the trunk.

The sub slams pretty hard, but I notice a wierd burning rubber smell when I play it loud (not normal car rubber. It's more toxic, if that makes sense.

A guy from CL said that I'm probably clipping the sub since I have all stock wiring.

Would a second battery do the trick?

Any help appreciated.

Car is a 2010 HHR LT

What is the voice coil configuration of the sub? How did you set your gain? You are most likely smelling a hot voice coil from too much power, most likely from clipping. The clipping is due to an improper gain setting or the use of bass boost.
