HELP please, system suddenly not as loud?

[lambo37 10+ year member]

Ok so i finnally got an amp on my DP 15 in my eclipse, and it was helllla loud, but on the way to work, it was loud, then i heard a small pop(was not the sound of frying something or blowing something), and i pulled over and all the connections were good, (couldnt check ground or power under hood), and after work i took the sub out and its still connected fine(the sub is not scraping/blown) and the amp fuses are fine, and i switched speaker terminals and the same thing, checked rcas etc.

So i tried turning the gain up, i turned it all the way up turned bass boost all the way up, and the same loudness...(turned it back where it was right away)..Please help as i just got my amp two days ago, thanks alot. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

pull the sub out check the coils. if all looks well test the amp on another speaker.

Well i guess i can do that tommorow..You think one coil could of blown or something? Cause it doesnt sound blown and no scraping etc, Its a quad 1 ohm btw...And i dont have another sub to check the amp but idt thats it, could it be a ground? And my power wire under hood is really crappy, but idk why it would suddenly make a differance.

Idt its anything tuning wise on the head unit, i turned all the bass adding stuff and lows etc all the way up no differance, turn it all the way down and it goes down in volume(back to irginal)...do you mean connection wise? i really dont know, but im pretty pissed finnally got my new car loud and its not as loud anymore(still is decent though)..But still ****. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
