Make sure you have it wired up right.

The leads are hooked up to the terminals
but would you have to remove the dust cap to see if the leads were hooked to the voice coil?
I am positive I have it wired up right, I double and triple check it several times I'm really confused lol
I will go grab my dmm and check the coils
Thanks for the suggestions I want to get this figured out

That ***** man, that is a beast sub.
Have you tried hooking up one set of coils just to test? Keep the volume low. I would test each voice coil independently.

Ok just checked the coils individually with my dmm and its weird to say the least.
Checked both on my bench one reads about 3 ohms and the other read 170.
So I picked up the sub and brought it to my car sat in it the backseat, free air to test it.
Hooked up the first coil, 3 ohms, to my surprise it worked with no mechanical noise.
Then tested the other and it too worked again with no mechanical noise.
Retested both coils with a dmm one read 3 ohms again and the other read 8 ohms now I don't get it.
Could there be something inside that is coming undone with moving the sub or something?

Perhaps one half of one coil is blown -- as with most 8-layer coils it is a "bifilar" wind; meaning it's quad wound then paralleled down to a dual wind. It is entirely possible 1/2 of the 2nd coil is damaged.
