If your amps are not that hot then feel the dust caps on your subs. Your coils may be getting hot, mine do. Could be your HU but you need to find what it is just in case it is non of the above.

It helps if you push your speakers with amps. I only use the HU for the tweeter, so it stays cool. I hope it makes it last a long time.

its a 96' honda civic, I really don't think that matter, since I replaced every stock speaker wire. But it does smell like the headunit.

maybe I should do the big three. Can someone explain, what that was again? I know one is to replace the wire to the alternator to bigger gauge wires.

Okay so he wasn't specific enough, seeing how I thought he had some subs, I told him to turn his gain down because he was probably clipping and heating his VCs. No need to be an asshole.
