Problem solved! I think. Well, to make a long story short. I picked up a DMM on the way home. Checked the voltage of the amp and the ohms of the sub and everything checked out. I fired her up and still had the problem. I turned it up a bit to make sure and all of a sudden "silence". O shit, I...

will a multimeter show this problem?

Is it something I can fix?

Thx for the replies. Not sure if this will help at all but, When I put my ear up to the box I can hear music that sounds like it's coming from the back of the sub inside the box. When I turn it up, the music gets louder but it gets even more distorted. It sounds like I'm blasting a small earbud...

Not sure what an SSF is. Haven't measured with a DMM yet, but I'll pick one up today I set all settings to the middle. I would think you would still get some response even with the settings the way they are.

Where can I pick one up? Lowe's? Home Depot? That makes much more sense than me pulling it apart. Thx! As for the 50amp fuse at the distro block. Do you think that's a problem? Also, The fact that I'm getting sound would lead me to believe that the h/u and the amp are ok. I'm guessing...

Not sure yet. It's in a prowedge so I would imagine they tested it before shipping. If not then that's pretty **** lazy. I'll have to pull it apart today to check it out.

Yea, I wondered that as well, but wasn't sure if it really mattered. I bought the sub from an authorized jl dealer out here and I got the amp from onlinecarstereo.com. I hope to god nothings blown.

Hi, I just finished connecting my setup and all I'm getting is a very faint noise from the subwoofer. If I turn the volume up the sound gets louder and I can hear the music, but it's extremly distorted and doesn't have any bass to it. It's almost as if the speakers aren't getting enough juice. I...

I don't mean to go off topic here, but I think you need to know how to spell decide. You'll probably use it quite often throughout your life. Can't hurt to spell it right.

Yea, I definitely wanna stick with the 10w7's. I just hope the trunk is big enough. I'm gonna have a 1000/1 and a 300/4 to stick somewhere as well. From what I've been reading, ported is the way to go with the w7's.

how about the box size? You think I could get a box that would sound good and fit in the trunk?

How about two 10w7's?

I have a 2004 gto with 7 cubic feet of trunk space. Not sure if you guys know, but the gas tank takes up a large portion of the trunk. I measured and it's depth is about 20" and the width is around 50". I really want a 13w7 but the jl box dimensions (ported) will bring it to 16.5" depth. Now...

I have to figure this out before I buy anything. I dont' want to spend over 2 grand and have it sound nothing like it's supposed to. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
