It's probably from some bad wiring and the smell is something burning. If you had it professionally installed I'd take it back and have them fix it.

Paul O @ 2009-04-25 09:05:23

Think about that for just a minute. Wow, they actually let you have a license?

mitch t @ 2009-04-25 09:05:32

Your overheating your components. Sometimes when equip is new it will smell the first few times it gets hot as it burns off the oils etc from manufacturing and it should get fainter with each use. If this is not the case just keep cranking it and you will find the problem when it dies. Just keep a fire extinguisher handy.

Doc W @ 2009-04-25 09:08:06

all players will distort at full volume, some more than others.

When you let it "bang" for that long the energy used to produce the sound also produces heat. Try a better system and speakers, or save your ears and turn it down a little.

im sorry pardon me thats was my lunch kind of gasy.. dude what you think you smell burning plastic its wires melting stop by removing battery cables and rewiring system with a heavier cable

Too much power through the existing wiring. BTW What makes you think that the motoring public wants to hear your reasonable facsimile of music anyway?

Poppy @ 2009-04-25 09:21:13

well that your subwoofers is are they in a box ported?? if your stuff is new then its the voice coil that breaking thats normal but becareful make sure your gain isn't that high up because it could heat up your cone and eventually blow your subwoofer...

bigger altenator?

Doc W @ 2009-04-25 09:08:56

i think its your battery and alternator its one of those. capacitors don't help.

Striker @ 2009-04-25 09:55:25

First thing, it's a Boss cap, might as well tape a bunch of energizer batteries together. Your alternator probably can't provide enough juice to power everything. Even though the cap should "store" enough power to keep your amp working, Boss products are not very efficient. Not all caps are the same.

Take it to a car shop and let them run a diagnostic test on your car, it will show up everything that is wrong with your car and it doesn't cost that much.

lilac402009 @ 2009-04-25 09:00:49

Is it overheating? Do you mean setting idle for 10-15 minutes or driving for that long?

mitch t @ 2009-04-25 09:01:41

My fiance's car had a similar problem. Have a car shop run diagnostics on it, and look closely at the fuel injector.

about it you can find information from the following website

Ohms and for the best performance rms wattage but just make sure that the wattage of the amp does not exceed the wattage of your sub or it could blow your speaker. As far as recommendations go, KICKER.

tyler @ 2009-04-25 11:18:23

First decide on the subs you want. I also recommend Kicker.



As an example, if you want 2 x 12" subs, with a max rating of 800 watts each at 4 Ohms (single voice coil), then find an amp that has a rating of 400-600 watts x 2 of continuous power at 4 ohms.



Never match max speaker watts with max amp output. The max numbers are deceiving, and are peak numbers in a lab environment. The max amp power is usually only for a few seconds anyway, not what you want.



Subs: 2 x 12" -- 800W @ 4Ohms

Amp: ~ 600W x 2 (continuous power, not max) @ 4 Ohms

right now it only comes in blue, but rumor has it that it will be available in red and black in a few weeks or so.
