as you can see down below i have 1 10 jbl gti ported with 1200w. ok i turned up the volume
to test how loud it can go after the breaking in pereod. well as i was doing this the sub started
smelling. now i think the reason it was smelling was because of the box that it is in. my box is an
obcon with a total of 3 ports 1 of which was inside conecting the 2 seperate chambers. kinda like
an abc box. the box was not designed specifically for jbl its more of an every sub type box.
is it possable that the box was not made for that much power? my sub should be able to handle
3000w so if i wer to change to a seald box, do you think it might hurt the sub with 1200w?

help

2 10"jbl gti

most times subs smell because, of something rubbing or you blew the sub
