Okay so I've had this sub in my car for about a year, I installed myself and everything went flawless for the most part.
Well, in the past couple month it would cut out so I would just go to my trunk, wiggle the sub and it would kick back on. Then last week I could not get it going to the life of me so i started checking wires. Saw my ground wire was getting hot and kinda burning the bottom of my seat since thats where its mounted on a screw designed for easy amp ground wire location. Anyways thought that was my problem so I got a new ground wire... Still nothing so i open up my sub box and use a multimeter to see if its getting power. Which it is, atleast the ohms were moving on the inside when connecting positive and negative of the multimeter.
Decided to put my sub in a buddy car connected to his amp to see if it would work.. it didn't so i assumed the sub blew since the wiring seemed fine. Whatever, decided to just buy a new sub and box since I've tried all I can think of, new sub does not work connected to the system either.
So what could be wrong here ?? I dunno what else to try.. Any help is great so please help me troubleshoot !!
