[QUOTE="hatedonmostly, post: 6766921, member: 611322"] Here's what happened, I was listening to music loud and the bass stopped. I looked at the amp and it was in protect, and then saw smoke coming from the box. -Sub 1 and 3 and sub 2 and 4 are wired in parallel, I have two runs going into my amplifier. -Sub 1 makes a crackly mechanical noise. At low volume it plays, at high volume it knocks the amp back into protect. Makes noise when hooked up to a 9v battery. -Sub 2, 3, and 4 don't play at all. No matter what the volume is. Same with a 9v battery. -On all four, the cone is able to be pushed back and forth. I don't think I felt any scratching when pressing on the cone on 3 and 4, the other two I cannot reach. And finally, my DMM wasn't reading anything on both pairs of wire. What seems more likely? That I blew all four at once (maybe because the amp protected?) or that the wire came loose from the shitty spade terminals on three of the subs? If I had my car available at the moment, I would do more investigating, but I won't be able to look at it until Saturday. [/QUOTE]
