Sub: jl w6
amp: jl 500/1
Hey guys hows it going.
So recently my car was worked on and the dealership left the trunk cracked for some reason and the interior of my trunk got a little wet. I noticed the amp was a little damp so I set it out to dry before testing things out.
After everything was dry I hooked it up and everything worked fine. One day, however, I started up my car and my sub was not hitting. I went back, opened the trunk and noticed the sub was hitting but not hard at all, and sounded terrible, almost like a putter. I turned everything off because the amp smelt like it was burning.
After a few days, I tried hooking everything up again. The same sub sound, the light hitting/puttering was there again. I busted out the multimeter and went to town.
The amp turns on, the green light comes on and none of the error LED's light up. I checked and there is 12+V going into the amp. The outputs of the amp are putting out 1.2 - 3.1 ohms when I run the amp, however I am not able to get a voltage reading. When I hook up the sub, it does not hit anymore. Instead, it makes a low humming noise. If I push on the sub, it sounds like it is humming or buzzing even more. It seems like it wants to work, its just not getting enough power.
I am afraid the water finally got the best of the amp, which caused a bunch of problems. Needless to say, everything worked fine before the dealership incident.
I am open to suggestions and am willing to try anything, really just trying to narrow it down to the sub or the amp.
Thanks for your time,
Rob
