I know the amp can hold 1 ohm and the enclosure is 2.0 cubic feet per sub and is capable of 30hz

Hey, Yall I just made an account for this page and I have a very important question... Last week I switched my set up from a 1.9 cubic foot sealed box with 2 10" kicker comp ds to a 2.0 cubic foot ported box and I have an awful smell at high bass. I did take my truck and have a local audio shop tune my kicker 1200 watt amp and it still smells... The subs are in perfect condition but they are about 3 years old but the box is a week old... If you need any more info please respond on here or email me at [email protected] Have a great day!

Or should I wire them both down to one spring terminal??? And wire it back to original outside +- ports ???

How do I fix this ???

See what I mean... I was running outside + and - outside terminals so does that mean the inside terminals are set different ???

And like I said up above the amp used to run both 10s off of one +- on amp now they are wired individually so is that the problem??

So I need to turn my bass boat down ??? I am not familiar on amps and I don’t want to drive 30 min again for them to “Tune” it so I’m trying to fix it all myself

The wire did turn a darker color and seemed to heat my amp up more.. do you have any suggestions on what I should do?? Should I tune my amp on a 50hz pull with a dmm ??

Yeah when I redid the cab bushings on the 77 I was planing on using Eastwood rust encapsulator. But money was tight so we just cleaned the frame good and put it back together....

So what do I do to make them not smell ? The only thing that I switched from running not ported to ported was the wiring from amp to box... the non ported box only used one set of +- on amp but the ported is running both +-. Btw I was running 14 AWG on non ported and 18 gauge on this one but Tuesday it will be on 12AWG PICTURE BELOW

My dad 2 years ago bought a project truck that we are going to make nicer but not show quality! He bought this 1977 Chevy k10 because his dad had a 1979 Chevy k10... This is the state that the truck is in now... but it’s actually put back together 100%.. took it for a quick drive and the clutch bell crank fell off come to find out we need to do a rebuild kit for clutch fork and other things.

dude thats pretty awesome!! I just recently bought a 97 z71 for work and doing a little audio stuff to it but thats sick what yall did

The only reason I was listing peak wattage is because I only smell it at high power and they are ran to separate spring terminals so I smell it at peak . But hopefully, this new 12 AWG wire will do the trick... I've ordered it along with Rockford front door speakers and kicker rear... Schedule delivery is next Tuesday so ill let yall know next week if that fixed my problem or not.

I just talked to Crutchfield and they think they know what the problem is and come to think about it that makes more sense... I am currently running 18 gauge from sub to box and they said for that watt im pushing out that I should be running minimum 12 gauge...

Thanks for your response! The subs still look in perfect condition and still perform as they should! The subs are rated for 1.2 - 1.8 cubic feet of air space but crutch field said 2.0 cubic feet would work just fine. Peak watts are 600 per sub and 300 RMS per sub. I've taken the subs out and checked everything and they still look brand new and they don't make a crunchy noise when you push on the cone... The guys at the audio store told me that it should be fine but I don't want to mess it up.

This is what its currently tuned at... But if you need I can send you the picture of what it was previously tuned at also.

Thanks for the response Aaron I had it previously tuned by radio shack and since it was a sealed unit it didn't have a smell but now since its in a ported box it smells weird but still sounds clear and I think when he tuned it he only switched the gain but I will upload a pic of what its set at.
