is my sub toast?

noob question i know

i have 2 rockford fosgate t1d212's and i pulled them out of the box for the first time in 6 months and the coils are black. they sound good still no scratching they move freely and dont bottom out and they have never smelt burnt. they are in a ported box

also hooked to volt meter to check ohm and i am getting 3.5 ohm per sub when wired to 4 ohm

hook a dmm up to the coils and see what it reads. the color of coils isnt too important for example i know dc dyes some of there coils different shades so they can tell the difference

x2 some coils are normally black

when there blown they either scratch or are super stiff if you say they sound good then your subs are probably all right i dont know about the ohms thing though i know some subs read lower like my fi reads 1.7 ohms on each coil

getting 3.5 ohm per sub i subtracted the resistance of the wires themself

subs are always good until coil bits fall out like toast crumbs from the bottom of a toaster

Does it look like paint? I've heard of some voice coils being painted to identify the ohms of the coil. But I think they were DC subs.

i wish i could get a pic ill try

if they are both 3.5 you should be fine there probaly dual 4 ohms woofers just my guess

i can switch between 1 and 4 ohm
