voxigenboy Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I have a couple of Kicker CompVR 12" & some old Rockford Fosgate Punch 2-Channel amp(forget the model #, but it does 800w RMS). Anyway, all of a sudden yesterday, the subs stopped responding(or at least seems that way when the volume is up). When you turn the volume down low, you can tell that the subs are doing something... just when you turn up the volume you don't notice them at all. The subs I bought earlier this year and the amp, well.. it's from like 06' or something. Do you guys think the amp is starting to go bad? Sadly, I don't have any testing equipment so I suppose I could always just take it to a local shop & see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voxigenboy Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Do you at least have a DMM and/or a 9 volt battery? unfortunately, i do not have either(haven't gotten around to getting it checked out yet either). i have noticed though that now the subs do not come on at all. all the other speakers work fine & i do see that the light is on on the sub amp to so I know it's not a matter of the power somehow being cut off. I also checked all the lines to make sure nothing came loose anywhere & everything's secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voxigenboy Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 well, apparently the amp is still good. it ended up being a few blown fuses. even though this amp's an old rockford fosgate punch that's more then 5 years old, still seems to be holding up. i plan on getting a new amp soon... hopefully the newer rockford fosgate stuff is built to last also.
