comp vr weird smell

i have 2 compvr 12s and a jbl 600.1 amp ive got an overall load of 2ohms so im gettin the full 600 to the subs... my question is... when i play it loud for around a min or so it starts to smell really weird... ive heard of it before but only while breakin them in...and they are past broken in and i dont think i could blow them with that amp any one had this prob b4 thanx

they should handle that powe rbut it sounds like the coils are getting extremely hot making that smell! Box design matters in how much power a particualar sub can handle what kind box ,size ,etc do you have.

umm right now its in a bandpass box im in the process of building a new box for them......i think.... but the overall cuft of the box is like 3cuft total i dont know how u figure it out per sub in a bnadpass though...is it the box causing it to smell u think?

yeah if you have a ported box your sub's continuous power handling gos down about 100 watts I think.

best thing you can do is turn gains down a bit till you redesign a box maybe sealed will be good sealed will handle extreme power levels!

my gains arent that high... and it doesnt smell at all... except when i basically max out the amp....

um its a mono amp with a sub preout from the deck....

back down the gains a hair this will minimize distortion even if you cant hear it! trust me you dont want to burn the coils you will ruin those speakers,you said it youself it only happens when you max the amp so turn th egains down so that max is not so powerful in a sense!

Again I was not trying to be a smart ass, sadly enough I have seen it done many times.
