I'm pretty sure I blew my sub..

I've never really blown one before so it either blew or somethign is really wrong...

Was driving and it stopped playing and started smelling smoke.

Opened up the trunk and there was smoke coming out of the port.

It's blown right? Haven't taken it out of the box yet.

It sounds like it... Just take it out and take a reading on the coils...the coils dont lie.

Does the cone move at all? Try pushing on it a bit.

Ya, it's blown. Something overheated (reason for the smoke) and burnt up/broke and that's why your sub is blown.

I played it again when i got home...it makes a real nasty noise when it hits and doesn't hit hard at all.

It's a type R... powered by an MTX 600XD 600RMS at 2ohms

lol i had the same thing happen to a ooold pioneer, so i layed it on the driveway and fed it like 800 watts, and then sub go poof.

It's probably blown man, that sucks to hear...i'm guessing that when you kind of push on the cone, there is a lot of tension and it won't move? that's a tell tale sign. also you can check ohmage on the coil...if its anything but spec, your sub went poof...

Good thing I have a 2nd type r in my garage right now.

Idk why it did it...maybe my settings are bad or the gain is too high or something.

 

[avs20 10+ year member]

Id reset the gains before putting the new sub in.

did u have it wired right? it should handle the 600 watts fine.
