What electrical upgrades, equipment, box and enclosure, etc?
September 26, 200915 yr Should be fine man, as long as you didn't play it too hard for a long time and dont see an impedance rise (use a multimeter). Just see how it sounds tomorrow, I bet it will be the same as before.

OP just give us some more info, the sub may be fine or you might be hurting it.
September 26, 200915 yr I smell it but my sub is still playing fine I'm just curious if it fucked my sub up at all?I got the cooling options on the btl so I should fine if I let it cool down for a few minutes?I had a BTL fully loaded and it had a smell that smell was the leads frying. I replaced them with some 8 gauge wire and never had a problem untill I decided to run 20K to it for a comp burned the coil and cone cracked. I was not to happy with the BTL's leads when I got mine. But, I had one of the first ones. I heard that problem is worked out now.
September 26, 200915 yr Does it smell all the time or just after playing for a long time? Could be various things causing it, but we need more info to help track it down.
September 26, 200915 yr Author Ok. Well I'm running a Kicker kx2500.1 all 1/0 gauged out with a duralast marine battery in a 3.5 cuft box tuned to 32.5I was playing hood nigga for a good 2 minutes into the song and it was hittin those lows HARD and that's when I smelled it. So I just turned it down and the smell went away. I didn't pull over to see if the dustcap was hot or anything but after an hour when I did get home it was pretty warm. I honestly think I need a new box mine has no bracing. But that shouldn't be the problem. Maybe it cause I'm running 14 speaker wire?
September 26, 200915 yr Overdriving and clipping the amp...and the subsonic filter on that amp isn't much count either...
September 26, 200915 yr Author Shit, Is there anything I should fix? Gain down? Set something on the HU?
