Subs arent working, checked everything.....?

[skullsmasher 10+ year member]

My amp is lit, and responds to the bass that would be playing through my subs, I have checked the fuse on the power cable, the fuses in the amp, all connections, the sub speaker wire connections and the subs just wont put out any sound.

Anyone know what this could be?

make sure ur lowpass/highpass/allpass is set correctly

make sure subwoofer is turned on on headunit

make sure subout is maximum

RCA problem?

 

[coolahan 10+ year member]

if its lighting up.. IIRC than rca's couldnt be the problem.. cause without them it doesnt power up? i'm pretty sure but than again i just woke up.. check ur subs wiring... make sure that you didnt rattle something loose.. so what I'm telling you is to rewire your subs.

I double checked the subs too man, I am lost.............someone was saying maybe the fuse is still messed up though it looks fine or the voice coil blew in the first sub..?

push down on the cone... if its stiff or you hear scratching its blown.

your amp will still turn on even if your RCA's arent hooked up. all your RCA's do is send signal they do not send power.

ok cool, I will try to ASAP.

Ok so I hooked up my subs, one at a time, to my amp and they both are working but when I connect to one coil on both of them (One at a time, not both speakers or coils at once) they dont work.......

Is this because one coil has to be connected for the other to work?

One of the subs I can see a flap of cloth on the inside partially flapping off when it hits. How can I fix this? Super glue lol ?

Take pics of said flapping.

 

[skullsmasher 10+ year member]

where you can barely see I circled in red, thast where it is flapping from on my sub but thast not my sub or picture.

EDIT: I guess i canpt ost the pic again cause I psted it in the subwoofer section already

Ok so I checked each sub one at a time by themselves and one coil would work on each of them. Then I hooked both of them up and re wired them and still, NOTHING. No sound comes from them but my amp light comes on and responds to the bass on tracks......

The only thing I could think of is it is a fuse that is burnt but doesn't look like it...???

any one have ideas?
