Alpine Type R Blown Voice Coil

[West]

To answer your question I would not try to have an amp run a blown or even a questionable speaker or sub.

You could fry the amp.

Either unplug the amp's remote on cable (which is blue) or disconnect one of the woofer cables until you either recone or replace the sub.

If you decide to go with new sub(s) Starr Mountain Sound is out in Etowah I know its a drive, but he builds great custom boxes and is very reasonable. He knows his bass and maybe able to give you some suggestions on what subs to buy. He could taylor the box to the output your looking for.

I drove over from Knoxville to pick mine up, Brian is the owner he is an interesting guy. lol

Also there are a lot of used subs in the classifieds here that would be affordable.

recone both subs. if you have pushed the good remaining sub real hard (doesn't mean that it got loud), then over-excursion could have damaged, or at least stressed it. in stock form, the type r 10's get decently loud and sound clean no problem. the motor (magnet assembly) on them is just fine, even better than some dc subs i've seen, and the basket is a basket. no problem there.

buy the sub online but have someone local set up ur amp and or look at ur enclosure so you dont blow another 1.

i can recone the sub but it wont be stock to match or play with the other type r...

They are a good sub for the money. I'd just find one used though on craigslist or from a member here. If you buy one new, it may not be the same generation as the one you have running.

Also, definitely make sure that amp is not playing, you could damage a whole lot more with that damaged sub in there.

Finally, make sure your gains are set PROPERLY and not just turned up. I'm sure you could find someone local-ish to you on here that could help look everything over and make sure it's all squared up.
