[QUOTE="Beatin', post: 8062400, member: 646085"] I got into the car and checked all the wiring. Looked good. I even took out the HU to see the rem wire, maybe it got loose? I noticed the electrical tape was coming off so I took that off and put on a new strip. Then I turned the HU on and played a song a low volume. I noticed the right sub is playing but not the left sub. I shut everything off and went to the trunk to try something. I pushed in the right sub, no problem. I pushed in the left sub.....*SCRAAATCH*. I took out both subs and did a DMM impendence check. The good sub read 8.6ohms, which is normal because they are 8ohm each. The messed up sub wouldn't even give the DMM a reading. Did I find the problem or is there possibly more? I'm thinking this is what the "overload" protection on this amp is. If one sub blows and all of a sudden the amp is only seeing an 8+ ohm load at high volume, the amp will shut itself down..........right? [/QUOTE]
