Sounds like his fronstage isn't working. Subs should never play voices.

yeah the subs do not play voices..so they are okay?

he's cutting it too high... set the subwoofer LPF to 60hz or something

if you think it's blown, disconnect the sub wires from the amplifier and measure it's resistance with a DMM... it should be more or less the impedance of the subs (it will depend on how you wired it too)... 4ohms will read something like 3,6ohms

cool..he says he has the low pass filter set at 80hz

Let me be straight forward with you on this one... why the hell would a sub play "voice".... THE POINT of a subwoofer is to play the LOW end frequancys....so obviously NO it doesnt do voice... and if it does tell him to change his amp... cause even if his low pass was set at 80hz... it wouldnt be playing voice... so tell him to check alil bit more into it... and if he cant do it get it to someone who can before he does something worse.
