Zv4 problem...

[N9neMillahhh]

My sub has been playing goofy lately, like sometimes it would play then it would cut out then play again, as if wires were loose or the amp was going to protect...but the amp was fine an when I took the sub out and inspected it, it was all good, except my DMM measures 0L ohms....any ideas or suggestions?

1) Check the tinsel leads -- are they burnt ?

2) If not; check the continuity of the terminals -- VERY rare but I've been scratching my head before and found out the terminal itself broke internally. You would do this by putting the DMM lead in the terminal like a speaker wire and putting the other lead of the DMM on the tinsel leads.

3) If none of these things -- check all mechanical aspects of the driver to make sure nothing is loose. I really doubt any thermal issue is possible based on your signature amplifier but if something is loose it could make the coil rock and break a winding physically.

4) If you are unsuccessful in troubleshooting visit our web-site and fill out and RMA form so we can take a look :

I checked the tinsel leads and they're all in tact. I also used my O-scope and a regular DMM to check the terminals as you suggested, also used alligator clips to try testing the leads excluding the terminals and it still reads OL...also looked it over and cannot see anything physically wrong with it, I had a more experienced Sundown nuthugger buddy of mine come check it out and he says the coil looks beautiful, and he suggested something right below the dust cap came undone or broke. But I emailed SSA about if it came with a warranty or not, because thats where i ordered it, should I get an RMA from you guys instead or wait until they get back to me?
