Thanks for your advice. BTW My friend who is an electrician came over and took a look at the sub and she said it is fried =[

So I have a question about the amp I have...it says the RMS is 1000 watts for 2 ohms, or 500 watts for 4 ohms... So does that mean that the RMS depends on the ohms of the subwoofer that I hook up to it? So if I have a 2 ohm sub it will receive 1000 watts from the amp, but if I have a 4 ohm...

Yea I actually paid less for that sub than the cost you guys estimated to recone. I need major help though with this...if that amp says RMS Power Rating: 4 ohms: 500 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 1000 watts x 1 chan. then what kind of subwoofer can I safely hook up to that that won't end up with...

ok..well I cannot become an overnight professional on this subject. Thats why I am turning to others for help and some advice. Anything involving electrical crap is just not my forte. If the RMS for that amp says 1000 watts for 2 ohms and 500 watts for 4 ohms, does that mean the sub has to...

btw, yes I will only be running 1 sub..trunk is small

I already have this amp: Rockford Fosgate PRIME R1000-1D Class D Monoblock Amplifier I did have a JL audio w1 hooked up to that amp but the JL crapped the bed. =[ I really just do not have good luck with JL's..don't ask me why..I do not know. So I am not planning on getting another one. Is...

I know everyone is saying the best way to check is with a DMM, but I am so impatient and can't find anyone with one. My friend used to be an electrician so I will ask about it when I see them. I did take this pic and I think it came out clear enough to see that something is definitely melted...

I will see if I can find someone with a meter since I don't have one. And yes, I left everything else the same aside from the new box...same wires..same poly fill.. just different box.

I just took a couple pics of what I suppose is the problem but I am on my way out the door... When I get home I will post them and maybe that will help to determine if the sub has crapped its pants or not..

Before the sub was in a wicked lousy box that was smaller WITH the poly fill. The reason I needed to get a new one was because around where the connection area was on the old box, the wood was literally crumbling from unscrewing and screwing on that connection port thing. (really, please...

Ok, so a couple a weeks ago I had issues with the amp in protect mode, and it turned out to be a bad ground. After we fixed that everything was fine. I decided at that time it was vital that I needed a new speaker box, as the one I had was absolutely horrid and basically decaying. I ordered a...
