Turns out I was being a little too bass happy and accidentally blew my Orion XTR152D - a lesson well learnt here for a newbie and likely a high cost to pay as punishment!
I have a feeling it's the voice coils that are burnt out, the cone and spider seem to look fine and are still moving when I gently push on the sub.
Would an improperly tuned ported box cause the voice coils to burn? It seems I was only having issues once I converted from an enclosed box to a ported one - but might just be a coincidence!
I gave the sub a little shake and it has a rattly sound, which is what makes me think it is the voice coils: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4hk-lX1gxs
Would it be worth getting it repaired? Or will I just have to shell out for a replacement sub and be more careful?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
