[QUOTE="Quiver, post: 8549286, member: 672308"] I've had my sub installed for the past 6 months now and haven't had any issues with it. However, today when I was on my way home from work I was bumping it pretty hard the whole way (about 15 minutes) and right before I got home it just stopped working. I backed down the bass but it refused to come back on. When I got home I popped the trunk and to my horror I saw a fair amount of smoke coming out of the vent in the box. The amp was warm to the touch but not at all hot. I took the sub out hoping that the speaker wires just weren't able to take the power and melted but unfortunately they are in perfect shape. The smell is definitely coming from the sub itself and the magnet was pretty warm. After reading around briefly on the internet I'm assuming that the voice coil fried. I'm posting here to hopefully find out what caused it to fry so that when I get it replaced I don't have that happen again. Here is what I have: 1x [URL="https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_45532_Alpine-Type-S-SWS-10D2.html"]Alpine Type-S SWS-10D2[/URL] 1x [URL="https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_98472_JBL-GTX-500-GTX500.html"]JBL GTX 500 (GTX500)[/URL] I wired everything up myself but maybe I did something wrong? What should I be looking for that could have caused this to happen? [/QUOTE]
