YukonDCXL Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hey guys, I just finished up my system. I have 2 5500bamf power acoustiks strapped pushing 2 DC xl 18's. I tuned amp with dd-1 (track 5) and my volts never dropped below 12.6 and after two songs playing full tilt I started to notice a slight voice coil smell and felt dust caps and they were warm. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YukonDCXL Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I mean this was not the first day playing them, I just got my voltage meter in so i was taking it easy on them for about a week now until I was sure I was holding volts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToNasty Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 your woofers are new go easy on them while there breaking in i disagree, wang on then. and did you use the 0bd track when doing the gain? ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLuejoules Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Smell can be from excess glue burning off the coils. Also no need to break in subs by taking it easy on them. IG: devinthydude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YukonDCXL Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I do not want to use the 0 db track because I am not gonna get any power out of it using that track. track 5 was recommended my Steve Meade for most systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
