time for a new sub?

[chrismagee]

I posted earlier this week trying to figure out what was wrong with my system and came upon the conclusion that my sub is messed up

It cuts on an off and when it cuts off, if I open my trunk and push the woofer in, it turns back on for a bit

It seems that pressure keeps it running/working because if it shuts back ofi can just push it in and it will start working again

So I'm guessing its either a tinsel wire or voice coil problem because the voice it puts out seems a little muffled too

I bought a new sub and new amp anyways but I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this before and has any input?

The sub I've only had since christmas and same as the amp, but I'm guessing the shitty BOSS amp I bought is coming back to bite me in the ***

what is the busted sub?

Its a 12" type - e so I would expect more from alpine but I'm guessing its from the amp I was trying to power it with, it said it was 230 rms but it was probably just underpowering my sub the whole time
