How did i blow my 12inch Kicker Solo X???
Setup is 2001 pontiac grand prix gt 2door.
0g wire for power and ground.
Kenwood X990 HU.
12inch Kicker Solo X in a 1inch thick ported box to specs/the size of my trunk so box is pretty good size.
Hifonics 2011 Brutus 1700w amp.
My amp is only @ 3/4s the way up on power level.
One day my sub just started to fade in the bass department til there was no more and my voltage was going from 14.3 to 11.3 and making everything dim on my dash with NO BASS at all.
Then it just stopped working with a burning type smell. The speaker wire was hot.
Then it made a bag of chips being crumbled sound when i tryed putting power to it.
Place i got it from said yeah that ****'s blown.
My question is how the **** did it blow? My ground and power are good.
My box is big enough and i wasen't even putting 1500w RMS to it,when it can take 2500w RMS.
HOW DID I BLOW IT!? WHAT COULDA MADE IT BLOW!?!?!
Next question...
Should i re-cone for $125.00.
Or go for a new subwoofer?
He told me i should go with 12in Sundown Z4.
He then showed me a 12in Sundown sub that is right below the Z4(he had in his honda) and said he was putting a massive 3600w RMS amp on it. HOW IN THE **** IS THAT SUB TAKING THAT MUCH WATTS AND MY **** SOUNDED LOUDER WITH 1500W RMS?!!
Lots of questions. I need your help.
HELP!!!!!
