Subs present a new dilemma. Only one sub works. Help Appreciated!

according to you it is.

What else could it be? What do yall think?

If the other sub plays and this one does not. Its bad. Plain and simple. Woofersetc is an authorized dealer, so send it back under warranty

Triple check and make sure you have pos to pos and neg to neg wired on the sub.

the cone moves right? its not a shifted top plate issue? if you are reading the correct ohm load then There should be no reason for the sub to not be playing... Hook the thing up by itself and make the thing move.

No, the sub doesnt move where the eye can tell. If you LIGHTLY touch it u can feel "movement" and Woofer is not good on return policy?

so to clarify a few things, when you tested them individually, one sub was playing loud and had good excusion and then you switched it out and hooked up the "bad" sub on the same amp settings, made sure the pos and negative connections are all 100% correct, then played it and the sub barely moved? That would call for a warranty.

correct! ^ unless you wired it wrong and blew it up yourself, does it smell burnt or anything?

Yes, it was hooked correctly. It had no excursion that i could see. Only feel. Hopefully the return wont take long.

No burnt smell, it did have a weird smell, not like smoke but something have never smelt before.

Gonna work on sending it back tomorrow. Hopefully i get a refund. Im mad it didnt work.

goodluck

The other sub didnt seem that loud. Maybe it was not set right. i dont know. Since it was hook to the broken one, would that make a diff in power.

Just curious, to save you hassle down the road, whats ur box lookin' like?

 

[Pyrofan]

having trouble contacting sundown. Hopefully will hear back soon. Went to a buddy of mine who has been doing this since he was 15. ( hes old now). Seems like a voice coil is messed up. He was very impressed with the little Sa-8 tho. When he saw my box he said '' they will be ok, not to loud" then he took them out and said " HOLY $%*&. Thos like sum of ******* are loud." i laughed cause it was just one playing.
