wonderboy Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Last week I finally got my 15 in my Eclipse, and yesterday I had to take it out. The coil is rubbing pretty bad and it sounds like shit, but I'm not sure if its blown, as I've never blown a sub before and I'm not sure what that sounds like exactly. The sub is rated at 2500 rms and it was getting around 1800. Maybe the sub is just a piece of shit, BUT, could hard bumps (hard enough to make my windsheild wiper lever fall into the first notch) possibly have damaged my sub somehow? I've got 18 inch wheels and lowering springs, plus, most of the roads in Indiana are terrible. Sometimes you can't avoid some turbulence.

Ballen194 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'd say hard ride didn't do dookie. It was probably driven into clip or just pushed too hard. What's your electrical like? What amp you using? Quote 98 Isuzu Rodeo Pioneer Deh-6300ub SUBS*Upcoming* SSA Xcon 18 4th order AMP Banda 3500 Mids/Highs Pioneer EQ Clarion EQS746 ETC.

KillaCam Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Its blown, I highly doubt its from bumps. Most likely dirty power.

b-dubs89 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 the only way i think rough roads could have done it is bumps caused something to come into contact with the cone . more likely what others said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddub847 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 gains all the way up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Davis Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I would have to agree with everyone so far granted you did hit it pretty hard but I have in my truck when rocking hard bumped hard enough for the tranny to slip out of gear and nothing has happened besides occasionally cracking a box for how it was set up when I had it haha. I would have to say blown have you fired it outside the box yet to listen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatBox Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 off topic, your from south bend too! havent seen your car around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderboy Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Its all in my sig, amp is a SoundStorm EV5000D @ 1 ohm. Big 3 in 0 gauge, and a XS Power D3400 under the hood. Gain was just over halfway up, and it sounded really clean and like it could take more power. I haven't played it out of the box but just pushing on the cone you can hear it rubbing. off topic, your from south bend too! havent seen your car around I'm actually from Granger, but yea! The picture of my car was taken on the same parking garage as those pictures of your Jimmy I think. Haha small world.

Robert8252 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 If you push on the sub from a side the coil will rub. To see if it's rubbing you have to push dead center on the dust cap.
