[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 8054397, member: 624844"] Do the subs make a grinding sound when you push the cones up/down? If so, they could be blown. While you have the subs out, play them at low volume on a another amp or home stereo (LOW volume) and see if you get any sound. Even if they both read 1.7, they could be shorted somehow. If they play sound OK, I would suspect a short in your wiring to the body. The only way it would blow like that is reverse polarity on power or a direct short on the output, which should make the amp go into protect 80% of the time (with most amps). [/QUOTE]
