have a different H/U?

Is it a DVC sub?

Make sure you have both voice coils wired up.

Did your gains get changed on your amp?

Check your Level and bass boost.

Check your HU settings.

That is all.

its a SVC and checked gain and HU setting it pops when i turn off the car. and it is the same HU i had before. i completely at a loss right now. any other suggestions and thanks for the help

you prob have the sub wires backwards. Make sure your positive from the amp is going to the postive on the amp and same with negative.

i checked it too. if they were backwards the sub wouldnt hit at all anyways would it?

it would work but not very loud at all, almost barely moving

rewire everything from the sub to the amp because that usually what it is. Maybe one of the wires came lose or something.

You would have reverse polarity problems only when you have 2+ subs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

If you got just 1, it is not noticeable to the ear, but still a good idea to hook it up right.

also check your ground I would go over everything and double check and then triple check.
