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?

Can we get a lot more information than that, please. What electrical upgrades, equipment, box and enclosure, etc?

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.

So your telling him to just let it sit over night, so if it is a problem with his settings eventually it will be worse. OP just give us some more info, the sub may be fine or you might be hurting it.

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.

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.

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 32.5

I 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?

Gain down.
