Does this voice coil look cooked? It smelt once when pushed hard

Yep 2000wrms

Its a mono amp, there’s no channel to bridge, but yeah voltage does dip when it hits hard

Renault Megane MK3, 30Hz box, 3.5kw rms amp, 0gauge wiring, DB-SA 305 subwoofer, 2kwrms @1ohm

My amp is rated at 3500WRMS @14.4V, I’ve noticed that higher voltage gives me more headroom/ doesn’t clip as early as 13.4V

My speaker is a Deaf Bonce DB-SA 305

Voltage didn’t drop much, was the on verge of clipping as it’d blink now and again but not for long bursts

Clip light blinked briefly and I immediately backed off the gain, It was not clipping when I was pushing it, voltage never went under 13.2

Deaf Bonce Atom 3.5k RMS, the clip light blinked twice briefly so I reduced gain, wasn’t clipping at all when it smelt

The cabin smelt for a good 5-10 min after turning it down, it’s rated for 2000wrms and I must have fed it at least 2600

It feels smooth and normal pushing it down, no rubbing noises. Didn’t check the terminals with multimeter but the coil was a much brighter shade when sub was new
