I don't think so. The ohms are still right, the cone still moves freely, it doesn't scratch or make any funny sounds, suspension is still responsive, all the telltale signs of a blown sub aren't there. And what do you mean by dubbing?

Still giving me 4 ohms each and 2 ohms total all hooked up in the box. At least the sub is still good. I bet my ground is what's doing it. I'll have to check and re-clean everything when I get some time. Calculus and programming homework is a harsh mistress.

I lifted the box (it's down-firing) up to check of the sub was loose and it wasn't. I set the box back down, plugged the amp back into the input and gave it a listen. It was extremely quiet. I looked at the sub itself and the cone didn't seem to be moving hardly at all. I took the box out of my...

I've got an Alpine 12" S type in a sealed box powered by a Rockford Fosgate R500-1D. I'm also running an Alpine S 6.75 component set powered by a RF R400-4D with my ipod going directly to it and then to the mono via rca pass through. I put it in about 3 months ago, very carefully set the gain...

If you think this place is tough then try going on Pirate4x4 and asking about an IFS "torsion key lift" I'm pretty new to the car audio world, but not new to cars in general. Some sites are really tech heavy (like Pirate) but aren't as good for chit-chat due to how seriously the members take...

I'm going to be installing an amp for my component speakers, which are Alpine S-Type 6.75s, rated for 80w @ 4ohm. I'm unsure of the amp yet but it'll probably be ~75w per channel. I'm going to be using the stock head unit and speaker level inputs on the amp. The truck has 20ga wire stock. What...

Could that be compensated for (or maybe caused by) other factors? Maybe different EQ settings or tweeter placement or something?

I'm looking for a 4 channel amp to power my door speakers. They're Alpine 610C's, (6.75", 80w RMS, 4 ohm). I may in the future add a set of 4 inchers for the rear since I kind of miss having rear speakers. I'm drawn to the Rockford Fosgate R400-4D "full range" amp. On paper it looks good. The...
