[QUOTE="xSPLoder, post: 7737063, member: 641601"] There are a few easy ways to tell if a sub is bad without powering it at all. First, push down on it and if it doesnt move at all, it's probably blow. Second, and it might sound odd but smell it. If it stinks like fried circuit board, stay away. And last, take a simple 9V battery with you. Touch the + on the + of each voice coil and - to the - at the same time. If the sub is not blown, it should move the sub up and it will go down when you take the battery off. Do that to each voice coil on the sub. AND NO, IT WILL NOT HURT IT OR RUIN ANYTHING. There ya go, some simple ways to tell. Good luck [/QUOTE]
