Did I Mess Up My Subwoofers?

[wtfamidoing 10+ year member]

Well the story is that my friends were playing music on an iPhone(I have an android) and the iPhone is quieter compared to my android so I had my pioneer stereo cranked higher than usual. I forgot to turn it down after we got out and didn't use my truck for 5 hours. When I got back in I forgot to turn it down and my android was plugged it and it blasted and I quickly turned it down. Later I realized my subs weren't hitting as hard and it kinda had that maxxed out bass sound that is distorted. Im running an alpine 700w to two 10JL subs. Did I slightly blow my subs or amp? Should I get a new higher watt amp? I obviously am pretty new and need help. Thanks

You probably blew a sub, use a dmm to check them.

Probably broke one or both subs. You don't "half" blow them. If they're scratchy sounding there's no going back.

1. Get a DMM and check the resistance of each sub

and/or

push in on the center of the cones if you feel resistance or scratching from the coil rubbing it's not looking good

It's only distorted when i hit like 35-40 on my volume but i remember it could hit 40 with no distortion

Probably Clipped and killed subs

The only way to know is to check them, so just do it and then you will know what you have to replace
