bah! my bass stopped.....

[MrSwiss 10+ year member]

my sub has been droppin out for a cpl weeks. usually around turns n what not, i assumed its my amp that isnt secured. Then after a while i noticed it would stop working at very low volumes. turn it up and the bass came back. 2 days ago it quit completely.

The sub is fine, i pressed the cone, its not blown. i checked all wiring in my trunk, its very tight and secure. Both my 4 channel and mono power up fine. Its a little cold out so i dont want pull out the HU and start messin with that.

anybody have a clue?

Are both amps grounded to the same point? What size wire are you running?

im running 4awg from the battery to the amps i believe. yes they are grounded to the same point. i think the grounds are 8awg tho

That could be your problem. If your ground wire is too small it can't carry the amount of current the amp is sending it.

Test your channel with a dmm with the h/u on while playing music. If you get no voltage or a very low voltage at supposedly high volumes, it's your amp... if that's not the case. Check the resistance of the voice coil(s) on the sub(s). If you don't get a resistance reading, something isn't attached electrically.

i switched the channel on my amp and it did nothing. i took the sub out of the box today and all wires are very secure. had this setup running since the fall now never had a problem til now =/

if its warm i will get the Dimm out tomorrow thanks for the advice.
