well... somethin bad happened

[BeAlLsTaR13 10+ year member]

well i connected the 6x9, it worked.. shit,, subs wont play so they gotta be blown.. or something.. now i cant test with my DMM cuz i accidently left it on ohms when checking output voltage, and it aint working for shit now.. so i pulled the subs, smelled them.. no bad smell or anything, they smell like a sub.. cones on both subs move fine, all tinsels appear to be connected...

but if the subs are blown.. i dont see how they could have.. box is built to their specs.. SSF is set to 25-30hz.. so they couldnt have bottomed out i wouldnt think.. they never recieved clipped power.. i bought them in march BNIB on ebay.. better hope that place has a warranty i guess..

yo maybe ur little terminal on ur box melted it happened to me srsly

there anyway to check and see if a sub is blown without a DMM to read ohms?

besides plugging it into a wall socket..

Yeah, use a 9 volt battery...connect it to the terminals, the sub should extend fully one way, if you reverse the polarity, it should extend the other way.

and this wont harm the sub? (thats assuming nothing is wrong with it)

No, it's just a 9v DC signal. The subs take WAY more power than that. Just don't leave it connected for a long time. Hold the leads against it for a second or two. It's fine...if you don't believe me, search the forum for "9v pop test"

No, this will work just fine.

i belive you, i did it with 1 sub so far, first coil, went out when ran parallel, went in when ran series, same with the second coil. now gonna do second sub

if it works then the sub should be fine.

same as the other sub, both are in good working order, thank god.. dont have the money to shell out for another pair of subs..

so, guess i gotta figure out what was wrong, gay...

speaker wire copper snapped on the inside? sounds dumb i know but i swear i had a piece of wire where the copper didnt touch on the inside and wouldnt transfer current

 

[BeAlLsTaR13 10+ year member]

so i removed the terminal cup, connected 1 pos wire and 1 neg wire to the sub coil accordingly, put the battery on the terminal screws of the cup, nothing.. found the problem i take it?

Thats your problem.

Your amp says AQ on it.

Flux capacitor ?

how can i see if those are the reasons?

LOL

i'de check rca voltage just like everyone else is saying.
