whats the normal temperature that a subwoofer have after playing some songs

like for a pair of 10" AA Chaos, powered by a Rockford Fosgate t1500-1BD Wired at 1ohm

92.4 degrees? :ughdunno:

Touch the dustcap / cone, if it's very warm, I'd pull the drivers out and inspect coils, lower gain some.

I pounded on my BL all day long, big enclosure, used a saz1500d, dustcap was barely warm.

Sounds pretty normal to me, but it's hard giving advice when I can't actually give a listen and touch the drivers my self. I live in Tucson and it gets just as hot :drink40:

As long as you don't smell any coil, see any smoke, hear any clipping distortion, and cone and dustcap aren't hot, you should be fine.

When you are working the subs the dust cap will get warm. Not a big deal as that is how the air flows for the cooling in speakers.

I cook bacon with my subs and amp
