No rumble?

[Philly2Cincy]

I have a DB11 amp running a 15 inch American Basswith LOC a non-active LOC. I've had it hooked up for a year now and the other day not playing any crazy song that I haven't played before my sub stopped working. All the connections are there that fuses are both good. The in-line and the amp fuse the wire connections from the amp to the sub are good. The ground is good. The power cable is good.Amp still turns on and It's not in protection mode. Any idea on why I feel no rumble from my bass anymore? Is it possible that the connections inside the sub box itself have come apart?

Could be connection inside the box. Maybe LOC died.

That's possible. And, the amp may be experiencing some problems. I would pull the sub and check the wiring before I moved on to the amplifier.

Like I know that an LOC is an electrical component and I also know that almost all electrical components have the ability to burn out or die but I have never even considered thinking about the LOC being a problem. I seen it when I had it and installed it and remember fighting with myself about where to tap the speaker wires but once it was installed, never even thought about it again

I agree with you 100% which is why this is how I will be spending my morning now. Haha I brought my multimeter home with me from work to help with the process

Think this may have something to do with it???It's the sub connector plate on the back of the box. Looks like it started melting the plastic. Why or how would that happen? Loose wire connections?

Loose wire connections?

Yes. Loose connections create heat.

Yes. Loose connections create heat.

The wires were in the spring terminals correctly but I pulled the sub from the box and redid the wiring and also put ferrules on the + and - cables and I now have bass and some. The bass hits way harder now. I can only turn my bass knob up half way now when I used to crank it all the way

Awesome. Glad your bass is back.
