brand new sub blown?

[kevinlebel 10+ year member]

I recently bought a 1200watt kicker cvxcomp10 with dual voice coils. and an alpine mrp m-1000 amp and after i hooked it up it sounded blown. when i turn the gain up it sounds like the coils are shot. i used one of the posts here to wire it up

except i wired it to the rear speakers. its still hitting all the lows. what am i doing wrong? my cousin says it might b bc its brand new and u gotta work it in but that seems too odd to me

cant view your link without registering for that forum.. but here is a link on how to wire..http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=161

is your sub a dual 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm?

To me it sounds like its your enclosure. Got any pics of the setup?

what do you mean you wired it to the rear speakers?

its a dual 4 ohm. i post a pic tommorrow. if the box doesnt have the recommended airspace can that cause it? or if its not sealed properly?

i think he means instead of usin RCA cables he used the high level speaker inputs

i used the speaker input leads on my amp. my stock bose system doesnt have rca's

cvx is 600rms and alpine amp is 1000rms

you need a line out converter.. pm me for a price.. i used it on my old install.. the are very easy to install and are better than wiring it the way you did

cvx is 600rms and alpine amp is 1000rms

if you wired it to 2 ohms you are over powering that sub.. if you wired it to 8 ohms it is not getting hardly any power

he can turn his gain down sum

cvx is 600rms and alpine amp is 1000rms

but i have my fuse is only 8oowatt, shouldnt that blow before any distortion?

can yes... i say get some pics of the box up and change to a line out converter and go from there

i wired coil 1+ to coil 2- and ran that to the amp. and coil 1- to coil 2+

then i tried the + together and the - together. nothin changed
