Sub issues Options

[powerkor]

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.

trash...you over powered the sub causing it to heat and fry...does it smell?
make sure on your next sub you get a sub that can handle the rms or turn your gain down...like other people said a capacitor is only tempary solution to a every lasting problem....in other words useless pretty much..check all your wires..fuses...make sure the right gauge is use for the amp....also your box needs the right specs...seal boxs tend to handle more rms for subs but ported cant cuz of the movement of air.
