[QUOTE="low00ranger, post: 5325164, member: 563341"] I've been playing with DD 1008's in my truck... installed 3 ported with a Brutus 1606d almost 2 years ago and beat the hell out of it for a year or so before I stopped driving my truck and never had a problem. I got a 4th 1008 used a few months back and just this last week got around to building a new box for the 4 8s, still using the 1606d. The 4th sub looked fine visually and read 4 ohms. Got it all in tonite and went driving for a good listen. 1 Jeezy song with higher bass and it sounds great. Go to a classic Bass Mekanik song with lower bass and it sounds phenomal for 20 secs and output goes way way down. It suddenly sounds like someone punching a paper sack. So I turn it down real fast, smell around - no bad smells. I turn it up so I can barely hear it a couple times and make sure it still sounds like crap. When I get home I shut it all down and get the DMM to check resistance across the speaker outputs, it reads 1 ohm perfectly. So the amps not hot and everything looks to be in place, is it possible one of the subs(the newest one I never used) is blown? I usually hear that when subs are blown the resistance will be way off but that's not the case for the overall series and I never smelled anything bad. Maybe the spider got disconnected from the basket on one of the subs? [/QUOTE]
