Voice Coil Issue

[AlwaysBubblin]

I bought a broken Alpine Type R 12"

And one of the voice coils don't work at all. The other one works fine and gets power. I was wondering if it was a known issue or if I would have to go get it repaired, or take it apart myself to figure out the problem.

So you bought a sub, knowing it was broken?? And did you check both coils with an ohmmeter?

Only way to fix a burnt voice coil is to recone the sub. It may be the leads. So if you can see them and one is burnt you could possibly fix that . Otherwise rape the one coil until it dies....Then get it rebuilt into a better sub in whatever size you want. 8-15"

Well I traded for two of them and a box, thinking they were working.

I was thinking it was either the ports for wiring, or the leads.. Because I had them wired up together at 2 ohms, and I think they both were hitting (could of been one pushing the other now that I think about it) and now only the one works when hooked up..
