[QUOTE="gc86, post: 4134936, member: 562904"] Ok so i've been looking for a budget system and I came across a MTX Thunder4202 for 35 bucks, works great. So I met this guy up to buy his Cerwin Vega 12in in a ported box for 70 bucks. He demo'ed the sub in his car for me and I listened for any abnormal sounds like voice coil rub or anything.. sounded great and wanged pretty hard. So I give him the cash and head home to set everything up. So I get home plug the sub in and no output at all, I tap the sub a little with my fingers and hear a scratching sound. If I push in on the cone of the sub it works... it I let go sometimes it plays sometime it doesn't but theres scratching sounds. I opened the box up to check wiring and played it free air with the same result. WTF is wrong? when he demo'ed it for me it played perfectly fine. I also tryed using my alpine 4-chan amp and got the same result, so the MTX amp I bought is in good condition. I than tryed my 9in woofer laying around and it plays fine on both amps.
