well... somethin bad happened

[BeAlLsTaR13 10+ year member]

so tonight i was on my way home, listenin to music, and at night time i dont really "bump" just drive while listening to music casually.. HU was on about 21 out of 35, so not too loud.. still quiet enough to hear some road noise and i noticed my subs stopped bumpin, so im like wtf ok.. so i turn it up to bout 28 and no bass, at all.. so i turn my head quick.. amp light is still on, green so not in protect.. so i pull into a gas station, check everything.. push on the subs.. they move back and fourth so not seized up.. ground is 100% tight, intact to chassis.. havnt tampered with anything latly.. so couldnt have been anything ive done. the amp was reading an input voltage of 14.2.. so i wanted to see if my clipping indicator could catch clipping (to see if the amp is getting a signal) so i turn vol all the way up, knob on max and it was reading a clipping light... so the amp was clipping, yet no power was being sent out

any suggestions? subs shouldnt have blown, their not even being fed their rated power, between 100-150 RMS less than their rated for, i dont clip the subs/amp... this happened randomly out of the blue, and worked perfectly earlier

any ideas?

Tinsel snap, wires loose, RCAs getting signal?

Tinsel snap, wires loose, RCAs getting signal?

all wires are in-tact, DMM is reading 1.7 ohms at the terminal cup, so im assuming all coils are fine and tinsel leads are intact

Flux capacitor ?

Flux capacitor ?

how can i see if those are the reasons?

your amp mounted on the box ????

if so maybe the vibrations knocked the flux capacitor loose //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

First, make sure the RCA's are transferring voltage.

BTW OP, a Flux Capacitor is fake. It's a Back To The Future reference.

Use a dmm to test voltage at the Rca's and at the speaker outputs

The flux capacitor possibly had a power surge and gave 100 gigawatts and melted all of your wires.
