i know theres supposed to be a break in period for these subs and even kickers website says they're stiff right out the box,but when i push the sub in,its super stiff and actually gets stuck to where i have to push it back out from the back,i put a voltmeter to it and on the 2nd coil it reads 4 ohms,but i get no reading at all from the first coil,i've never even hooked it up to my car yet,could it be i have a blown voice coil?

Pushing on cones is no good.

My cones were really stiff too, i hooked them up and played a few tones at a decent volume for a few mins and then i cranked em up and i could smell the "new speaker smell" lol....but i dont know why it would get stuck and u have to push it back out, but yea dont push on them too hard that isnt good at all

If you are not getting a reading from one coil....that's not a good sign.

I'd take them in to a local dealer and have them check it over.
