If you have a dmm, check the impedance of each coil to make sure they're ok. Also, push down on the cones and see if you can feel any scratching or rubbing.

I have a question bro.

if the reading of the impedance is way too high does that mean the coils are touching the magnets?

To be completely honest, I have no idea. I can't imagine that it would, though, because electricity takes the path of least resistance. So if there was a way for it to travel through a 2 ohm voice coil or a 10 ohm magnet (I have no idea what the impedance of a magnet would be), it would take the path through the voice coil because there is less resistance.

Loose rca? Sounds dumb but it happened to me.

My dmm was reading 3.5 ohms across the terminals on my box. I replaced all the speaker wire and now it's reading 2 ohms. Do you guys think a wire went bad or that I did something wrong the first time I put the subs in my new box?

Btw thanks guys

sorry i haven't been on :P and do you still have the problem?

also 3.5 ohms across the terminals on your box. how do you have them wired? or was that only on one sub/coil.

If you have a dmm, check the impedance of each coil to make sure they're ok. Also, push down on the cones and see if you can feel any scratching or rubbing.

that wouldn't make the impedance really high. if you do have really high resistance first make sure you don't have the sub connected to anything and also that you don't have anything moving the cone cause that'll cause it to read wrong.

I had them wired to 2 ohms using one of the trusty wiring diagrams off of crutchfield lol. Turns out one of the subs was on its way out. It blew yesterday morning so I ordered 2 SA-15s to replace the L7s.
