  • I think we have found your problem. Turn the bass boost off, and probably turn the gain down too until you read up on how to properly set it. If you have any bass boost or "loud" features on your deck

  • need pics as to what your doing.

  • Author

and then use the remaining + and - to hook up to the amp correct?

Edited by Brendon

Gains at about 75% and bass boost at like 20% yeah its wired like this

on a kicker 750.1

edit: whats a dmm and what do mean what is it doing it's playing like normal just has that smell and it's getting hot

digital multi meter

your pic... and the pic that i keep showing you IS WAY DIFFERENT.

He is saying you didn't follow that picture. The box shows a group of terminals on a side. You hooked up the + and - in the box (from the diagram) to each other while in the diagram that is not how they are wired...

Need photos. :eek5wavey:

- + coil 1

O

+ _ coil 2

thats how your sub looks...

you need to connect the postive off coil 1 and wire it to the - of coil 2!

then connect the - off coil 1 to your amp.. and the + off coil TWO too your amp.

i was looking at it at a different angle just thought the coils were far apart on that sub in the pictures LMAO.. i hope im amusing you guys so now that your done laughing at me do you think i damaged my baby?

You have to start learning somewhere. Can't really tell until you hook it up and see or check the coils with a dmm. Depending on how much power and how long you were playing it would determine the amount of damage it may have experienced.

no you pissed me off.

you eveyr well could have.. you super heated the glue on the coils im sure of it.. how long and how hot did it get?

either way..

its done now.. so play it untill it blows.

BTW bass boost will make you sad every time. IT WILL COOK YOUR SUB.

wire it up right and have fun.

BTW you must be around the age of 20 am i correct?

the guy i told you about that shorted his out.. smoked pretty bad... i mean bad!

and his works fine still thay are amazing subs.

Its hard to help when we have to guess.

sorry if i got aggravated.. but it kills me when i see young people blame other people over and other for a simple issue of a personal mistake...

my chick is 20 just turned 21 and she LOVES to blame every one before she will eat a slice of blame pie...

in this case it was sundown .. then it was RF. then it who knows what it would have been next.

when the issue all along was patiences im guessing

either way.. wire it up correctly and it will sound amazingly better...

also you really show have a DMM handy when ever you are doing anything that has to do with electricity ... parts express was blowing them out for 2 bucks.. i bought 6 of them..

1 in my car one in my chicks 1 in the house aNOTHEr 1 in my took box and 1 in my wrecker.... you just need one.

glad you come here and got it figured out. :drink40:
