HTD vs EMP vs JBL vs SVS

You need to give Hsu a call. Do not play it anymore. There may be something wrong with the voice coil. Hsu will probably want to send you a new driver and have you return the old driver.

Another thing, playing videos like that is a great way to kill a subwoofer. Sine wave tones, which is what that video uses, are the most difficult loads on a speaker. And ultra low frequencies, like in that video, are extremely hard on the sub's motor. That video is the worst thing you could play on any subwoofer. Six minutes of continuous, ultra deep bass, zero dB full scale sine waves, just wow. If you had been playing that video loud and seared the sub's voice coil, Hsu could make a good argument that you voided their warranty through abuse, and I would not disagree with them.

No, you mistaken me. Initially I play about 3 or 4 songs which almost has no bass or very light bass effect, but it still smelled and filled room, but it was light smell. Then only I went and tested sub testing clip but as you said I didn't play for 6 minutes, I was dared to play a minute only and I had to stop it.

I see, as long as you don't play that video loudly, you will be OK. Given your description, there is definitely something wrong with the sub, and you need to get in touch with Hsu to have it dealt with.
