techaninna Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I sold my DC LVL3 12s to a friend he has had them hooked up in a box I built for a couple years now (I know they are out of warranty). Anyways he called me the other day saying the subs were sounding really weird and barely hitting. Evidently the sub below disassembled itself and pulled the positive and negative out of the push downs which caused the other sub to play in the box built for two now it sounds distorted even in a single 12 box. I have not had time to test the other sub myself. I am just curious as to what causes this and is it repairable? Quote Rebuild coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cause you have to bolt the basket to the motor and that's under the spiders that are ca glued to the basket. So he would haive to cut out spiders and take out cone and coil to do it Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.
