[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 2482136, member: 570956"] I was drivin to work today with the music going, I was playin pretty loud, but nothing my system hasn't seen before. After about a solid 15 continuous minutes of play, the subwoofer just cuts out. All the other speakers continued working. The sub is an Audiobahn Eternal series 12'' powered by a Cadence ZRS-9 pushing 1000W RMS to it. I checked the amp with a multimeter just to double check it was getting power, even though the lights were on so it was kind of obvious. Also I have a little knob which adjusts the bass boost mounted in my armrest, on this knob there is also a voltage readout, as well as a...I don't know what to call it...it's a line of LEDs that light up when the bass hits, the louder it is the more bars light up, at the top they are red to signify lots of power....anyway, basically they are lighting up when the bass should play, even though it isn't, which to me means that it's sending a signal... It seems to me that my amp is in perfect working order. So I took my sub out of the box thinking one of the speaker wires got vibrated loose or something...nope they are all still hooked up fine. The cone presses down smooth like normal so the voice coils aren't fried...what else should I check? I'm really confused. [/QUOTE]
