I took my subs out of my car today to remove my bumper and i figured i play some music while i was at it. I played about half a song in my car when i realized that having my subs out of the car and playing was not a very good idea. I quickly put them back in and now they dont hit at allll, they hit slightly so they arent blown but you can barely feel them, i messed with my HU and amp for like an hour and they still do not hit like they used to!
Has anyone had this happen? and now im in the market for 2 new 12" subs if anyone wants to help that would be great lol Thanks! *edit* they were working fine before i took them out of the car This post has been edited by Redline08: Aug 21, 2007 - 4:00 PM |

Is it a sealed, ported, or bandpass box?

I was thinking that maybe if it was a bandpass then you had accidentally unhooked one of the subs inside the box and only one was hitted and making the other jump creating the illusion that both were working therefore also creating the illusion that both were working and you were only getting the sound of one. ...but nevermind, its a ported box so ill shut up now. -------------------- Cuz Thats How Us Country Boyz Roll Growing up racing motocross, i learned one thing..."Always wear clean underwear, you never know when the Paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off of you" |

swap the wires around.
alot of places/people hook them up backwards from where there suppose to be. (easy to check, and an easier fix) --------------------  Kawi Love |

Hi! I am new here but i can help.
 This happen for three reason: 1) You disconnect coil wire. (your amplifier "see" more resistance) 2) Your enclosure is wrong builded (less damping out of car, destroy your subwoofer spider) 3) You play low notes out of car (destroy your subwoofer spider) Check your amplifier "Gain" and your amplifier "crossover" Measure with a multimeter your Subwoofer resistance and your amplifier AC Voltage (sorry for my english)  |
