Problemz with POS setup

[Crimson Boom 10+ year member]

In my POS setup I'm having some issues, the other day the sub quit playing much audible bass at all, and the bass it did play was distortion. I check the amp today and it says its in protect. Did I break anything? Or is this a simple fix.

you need to buy or borrow one to solve this quickly. Only 20 dollars.. Money well spent.

Press down on your sub and listen for scratching, or if its locked up. since you don't have a dmm pop each coil with a 9 volt battery.

true, but I was stacking for whatever crazy shit I'm going to do to my new car, and I really would like not to dip into that too much

FYI equipment is 200w RMS "Verge" mono amp, small sealed box, black sony xplod 12"

cost me a grand total of 60 bucks including wires, but I may have to get a new amp or sub for this car till my new car is bought

Coils are blown, amp is blown, some wires are bad //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif There are a lot of different things that could be wrong with this. It's hard to tell without tests.

Check the coils with the battery like said, touch a wire from the positive side of the batt to the positive coil and negative side of the batt to the negative coil and see if the cone moves. Sounds like the sub is almost blown to me. Could also ba a issue with loose rca's at either the source or amp, or just bad rca's in general.
