so i was on my way to work and i was subbing as usual..when i got the scent of like something burning..i really dont have the slighest idea of what it is but i can only compare it to like plastic burning..i noticed it only smelled when the bass is hitting low notes..so i get to work..8 hrs later..im leaving work and start subbing again, it plays about 10 seconds of the song and the sub goes out! and this was about 1 hour ago..so im pissed! i have no idea whats going on..everything is working fine except the sub..all lights indicate everything is good..do i need to recone it?? im not very knowledgeable with these audio systems! please help! this is my set up 1 18" fi btl 1 hifonics brutus 2000w d class 0 gauge power and ground wire 1 4 farad cap 1 epicenter 1 kenwood amp (for highs) 1 optima battery yellow top

ok so i got it fixed at a local stereo shop...but they told me to use a terminal cup and use a banana plug..that my problem was that the speaker wire goin from the amp to the terminal cup got loose and caused that..so they charged me $5 and gave me a new terminal cup...but i think I AM A go with what u guys are saying and just run sum 8 awg wire from my sub to the amp and call it a wrap kuz if it happened once, its a matter of time before it happens again...thanks for all the help guys!

ok so run the wire straight from the amp to the sub? and the other option is to run the wires from the sub to a bolts and the wires from the amp to those same bolts? what kind of bolts? carriage bolts? and do they have to be zinc plated or stainless steel? thanks everyone for ur help by the way!

ok so i checked all wires and everything, i pushed down on the sub and no noise everything seems perfectly fine BUT i did see the terminal on the box was melted on the speaker wire..do u guys think that might be it? and not have to recone? im gonna go replace that right now..

so what do i do?? recone it? how can i check if im clipping it?

ok so i just bought an 18" fi btl fully loaded dual 1ohm....i originally wanted my box to be 40"x30"x20" with a port size of 10"x18" (which would pretty much take up my whole trunk space) tuned to 35hz ....but ppl tell me thats probably too big...its goin in a lincoln navigator...can anybody PLEASE just tell me if thats ok or too big or what it is that i have to fix to make my sub hit HARD! also how should i face my sub and port? i originally thought both up, but i heard sub facing up and port facing the rear is better, is this true? ok well first off i working with a hifonics 2000 watt brutus for now...hopefully a saz3000d soon...i listen to mostly rap but pretty much everything with bass...im trying to get that deep low bass thats gonna vibrate the entire block!! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks!!

what do u mean by after displacement? sorry im stupid...
