    Trouble Shooting Blown Sub Woofer in a Car

    Hi I am at work now so I will look at that when I'm home. You will be glad to know I've got the new sub in. Turned down app the dials on the amp and set it up correctly. The sub now compliments the other speakers nicely without a loud over powering thump.

    Trouble Shooting Blown Sub Woofer in a Car

    Trouble Shooting Blown Sub Woofer in a Car

    Just want to say just because I listen to music loud once in a while doesn't mean I have it as loud as possible everytime I go out in my car.

    Trouble Shooting Blown Sub Woofer in a Car

    Thanks for your reply, there is no sound and no movement when connecting the 9v battery. I bought it from someone and not from a shop, it was an unwanted gift so I have no receipt for it. I have took the sub out the box and the visible wires going into the cone all seem fine. Also to rectify...

    Hi I've installed my own amp+sub into my car. I thought I was right matching the RMS up, there both 300vRMS (I've read that I should of got a smaller amp). So I had it pretty loud today and it just stopped working. Wired up another speaker and the amp is working fine. checked the internal wiring...
