[QUOTE="TheBlackSheep, post: 708075, member: 556719"] If they are burnt, I take it they'll have a charred look? I took them out the other day, granted, I didn't know exactly what to look for in terms of a problem. I retightened a wire nut and when it was working without me pushing on it, it seemed to be doing okay, but two minutes down the road, again my problem persisted. I'm hoping it's just a problem with the tinsel... When I looked the other day, them all seemed to be soldered to the terminals. Should I have the car on when I'm testing it out of the box to see if that's the immediate problem? If the sub is indeed blown, would it hurt anything just to wire the remaining sub up to run on it's own? It's a 2-channel amp, and if bridged, it's gonna put out maybe 350W to the 1 sub which runs maybe 200W RMS, so I don't know exactly how safe that'll be... Also, if I buy a replacement sub, do I want the exact same sub? I can only seem to find the newer models, and I'm wondering if mixing and matching is ok (The newer models can handle more power, etc).
