subs just stoped working... HELPPPPP!

[Tompoirier6]

i really hope this is the right spot for this if it not please help me by pointing me in the right direction. my buddy has a pretty decent pair of subs powered by a 1200w amp and the other day we were driving down the road and they just stoped. when we got back to his house we took out the box thinking that it was the amp that blew a fuse or something, but that wasnt the case... the amp and fuses were fine. we took out both subd from the box and figured that it was the wiring that was no good. so we rewired them but still nothing out of the subs. so we hooked eace sub up to a regilar house radio and still no sound out of them. i dont that they are blown. they didnt make any poping noise when they shut off they just stoped working and they seem to be getting no power to them.

if anyone could help me that would be great:veryhapp:

Check the ohms with a DMM. If it reads 0 then they are blown...

I hope that BEFORE moving onto the subs you verified the amp was ON? If not, +1 for Kyle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If you hooked another pair of subs up and they worked fine, the amp is fine. Take a DMM and test the coils on the subs. If the number reads 0 or just runs and never settles, sub is fried. Push on the cone lightly and see if you hear a scratching sound too..

What subs and what kind of amp?

Ya sounds like he fried the vc's ..

Any funny smell or smoke when the sound cut out ??

That white beam is a flashlight shining into the box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah gotta be at least one blown coil.

could be the tensile leads broken or vc burnt. both just quit at the same time? must have really clipped the amp bad. do they smell funny or burnt? do they have a rubbing feeling when you push on the cone?

if the subs are wired in series one sub lost will stop all the bass
