quick question ? about over powering

[matj1990 11]

got my 2 sa-12s in a 5 cube box tuned to 30-31hz using 2 4" aeros

anyway

i just got my crescendo bc2000 and i was playin today had to be pretty close to full tilt although amp clip light never came on

anyway i am very happy with the performance of my amp and subs and box !!

once done after about 10 min or so of playing different songs here and there i felt my dust caps and noticed they were luke warm now i went directly to the ports didnt smell anything

is this normal ? sorry but first system i have ever had that was capable of actualy flexing anything so i had to play with it

Listen for stress, and if you smell coil that's a definite sign you're giving them too much. How did you set your gain?

clip lights are retarded and don't even work effectively.

set by ear as i dont have an o-scope i do have a multimeter though but i didnt understand the instructions on how to do plus alot of music ranges on sound one song may hit hard but be a lower volume

i have yet to hear them make any unusual noise
