[QUOTE="bangman, post: 2022776, member: 569315"] This is an odd problem I have never experienced. I'm pushing 500wrms to a 12" L5 (750wrms) and it worked well for 1-2 weeks. Worked very well. Then, about a week ago the subwoofer just cut off. I was blasting it for 30+ minutes so I just assumed the amp went into protect or whatever and didn't think much of it. When I got home I went to the trunk and realized a pair of RCAs came out of their slots. Plugged them back in and worked fine. Then, a few days ago the subwoofer cut out again. I pulled over and checked the RCAs and once again they fell out, this time not too much though. From what I remember the positive was halfway in still but the negative was completely out of the hookup. So I plug the RCAs back in and nothing happens and I hear a buzzing sound (music was still on, but very low) coming from the subwoorfer. So I go back and check the subwoofer terminals and they are connected fine. Then, I push on the cone and [B]it doesn't move at all[/B] - hard as a rock. Earlier today I hooked up an older Type-R and it worked fine. Is it safe to say the L5 is done for? Perhaps there is something else I can try? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
