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.

i doubt i over powered the sub since the amp was made to power it (kicker impulse sub and amp)... it doesn't smell from outside the box.... the only thing i think it sound with it is when i tap on the cone it doesnt make a bass tone.. it just sounds like im hitting the surface.

i didn't open it up yet to see if the wires inside are correctly connected, but i will asap... all the wiring seems to be solidly connected outside the box.

the gain and bass settings were set up with the dial right in the middle.

fuses intact.

i'll have to get a screwdriver and unscrew the sub from the box too see what the hell is going on. I think its one of three things...

1) burned voice coil
2) loose wire inside the box
3) busted seal
