12w6 blown?

[gene evans 10+ year member]

hi i have 2 12w6v2 and when I push on the one it moves a little more freely then the other. when i push on the other one its a little harder to push back, and its slower going back to its original position. Is there something wrong with my speaker? please help me out. thanks

Check with dmm. From your description it almost sounds like you blew it and the coil game unglued and you have some seizure in the gap. You'd pretty well know by scraping sounds though. Check with dmm to be sure.

I pushed in and no scraping sound but when its coming back out theres a tiny tiny scratch sound but u can barely hear it, any idea? I think there might be a hole around the sub letting air leak out, but that wouldn't explain that tiny sound i don't think?

also i kept listening to the same song switching between my 2 subs to hear a difference and i couldn't hear thaaat much of a difference, but the one that could possibly be blown sounded a little quieter

ok i just checked it with my dmm and i have it wired to 8ohm and for the most part it stayed between 6 and 7 but jumped to 5 sometimes, i do have a crappy 20 dollar multimeter though

take the sub out in question and check each coil

your not getting much power to them at 8ohms, also if your box is sealed, chances are it's not sealed.

 

[gene evans 10+ year member]

yes my box is sealed, and how do i check the other voice coil? i only have one bridging wire

 

[DammitJames 10+ year member]

your sub is dual voice coils right? should be two sets of terminals on the sub one for each coil

 

[gene evans 10+ year member]

yea there is, how would i measure the second one though?

 

[DammitJames 10+ year member]

take the sub out and there will be 2 sets(a total of 4 2 pos 2 neg) terminals on it there is a set for each coil... would you like pics?
