I installed my 18" kicker impulse with matching amp (kick impulse amp)... I installed it correctly and it worked fine for a month... but just the other day, I was listening to it, it sounded fine... I turned off the car... and later that day, when I turned my car back on, the sub wouldn't work. No sound comes out of it unless I turn the volume WAY up and turn the sub volume on max. What happens then is it feels like there's not enough power and it sounds like ****... I've been reading and it might be a voice coil... but i dont think i blew the speaker entirely.
I checked the fuses, both of the metal resistors seem to be intact and all the connections seem to be solid. I'm puzzled. |

Why dont you hook up another larger speaker or subwoofer to it and turn the gain way down or the volume just to be sure it is the speaker and not a problem with the amplifier. From what you described i dont get how the speaker could fry like that.
EDIT: Capacitors help with your cars electrical charging system. They can help certain issues such as light dimming on bass hits, but will not have any impact on how the amplifier works or the subwoofers life cycle This post has been edited by 1900WattCelica: Nov 10, 2004 - 12:21 PM |
