Phoenix Gold Phorum

I noticed that when i really drive the rsd65cs they put off a really strong rubber smell. I only get the smell when the speakers are pounding. Is this normal, and how long does the smell last.

thanks

that is the beginning of letting the magik smoke out, be carefull as it could mean you are in the danger zone.

are you telling me to turn it down??

I am still in the tuning stages

Am I driving the set too hard? I am running from the HU to the EQ215 and splitting the signal to use the XS4600 bridged into 2 channels. I have no clipping or distortion. Is this all the sound I can get out of these babbies. They sound incredible. But...


I might want more.....

If they are new, it could also be the glue curing. I usually notice it with new gear for a week or two.

It COULD be but in my experience the only time I smelt a speaker was when I was driving the piss out of it. What it is hooked up to has nothing to do with it really, any amp can heat up any speaker....

I've had my set hooked to an MS2125 and didn't smell anything at full bore playing for about 20 minutes or more of music. On the other hand, a friend blew a tweeter from a new set within a day from a crappy Sony amp which didn't surprise me.
