the smell was the silicone, because the sub was literally melting the silicone... lol. if you have the subs this hot for too long, you are most likely in danger of damaging the coils. thats why I shut it all off completely. I checked the subs, nothing looks damage. the only thing i found weird was the subs made a weird noise when you like pushed on the or whatever but im assuming that ok cause they were like that the day i got them. and when i say push i dont mean a lot of force at all lol.. try and push down straigh down on it with equal force so that it goes straight down. If you push from the side you will hear a rubbing sound. If you push from the top with equal force and still hear it, then you could have some trouble. yeah when i pushed in the center it didn't make the noise only the sides. subs are fine, thankfully.

Ok well I got my SSA XCON 12's awhile ago, and my SAZ-1500 D sundown audio amps. I waited a while to hook it all up to get everything I needed for the install. I installed them today, took me about 6 hours cause i wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and the way it was suppose to be. Well obviously I did something wrong because I ran into some problems. I would like some help to find out what I did wrong if anything, or if I just have shitty luck. I hooked it all up, I was liking the sound. Later on during the experience through the day I noticed they weren't hitting as hard as they were at first. Here and there i'd smell something like plastic burning. I sealed the subs in the box with silicone just to make a better seal, etc. I dunno if anyone would not recommend not doing it or recommend it, but that's what I decided to do. I fused everything, like everything. To keep fire hazards out of the question. Sense I have two SAZ-1500 D's I strapped them together (piggy backed, jumped, ive heard it called many things.) I believe I did this the right way but I may be wrong. That's why I am here. Once I smelled the whatever it was burning, which was the silicone, which i'll get to how in a minute. I unscrewed my subs and looked inside to see if everything was ok. Well no fire good lmao, nothing bad, but the sub magnets where very hot. I couldn't even like leave my hand on them for a second. I don't know if this is normal for these subs but i've never had a pair of subs get that hot. But the thing is only one was, and the other one was warm but not hot. Same with the amps, the one that was hooked up to the sub that was very hot was also very hot the other was not. So basically one amp and sub that were hooked together were hot and the other sub and amp were just warm. The way I Piggy backed, strapped, whatever was I ran a set of RCA's from the head unit to the back of the car plugged into the main amp, then plugged in another set of RCA's from the main amp to the other, where i'm from that's how I was taught, if there is better way or a way i am suppose to do with these subs PLEASE inform me. Here are some pictures to give you an idea. Note: the red wire on the ground of the kinetic battery is for a ground i just ran out of ground wire. and the only color i could get was red.

So I wanted to ask some questions about XCON's. How much wattage can these things handle? I'm looking at buying two 12 inch XCON's for my second sound system ever. Last one was stolen, but since then I have a viper alarm and a bunch of other safety stuff. But anyways, I just wanted to know a little more about them since on the website it doesn't really say how much they can handle. Also, one of the package deals on the website for a 12 XCON with a Sundown amp, is the XCON a 1 ohm or 2 ohm sub in that combo? And can that amp power two of the XCON's? Or would it need to of those amps? I would greatly appreciate these being answered.

Just wanted to say hi.
