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.

no matter what your lights will dim. you might want to look into a high ouput altenator and Optima batteries (even with this your lights will dim, but not nearly as bad). there is no solution to this. remember to check ALL your wiring and ground points. and make sure you have the proper fuse size in.

You really dont know anything about cap's then. A cap, is in easy terms, a batt that rechages 100 times fast, there for you wont hav dimming. I have 2 12" subs, and when i max it out, pushing 1800 watts i get NO dimming what so ever. I also have a 2 farad cap. but this has nothing to do with the sub being blown.
