This is rather shameful that instead of helping OP troubleshoot what happened everyone tells him to buy a magical gain setting device. Seriously, for all any of you know, he has a 50$ flea market amp..... or even he set his crossover wrong and that's why the sub stopped working.

The whole sales pitch being passed off as "help" or "advice" is pretty stale, and really even the most rabid fanboys have to admit at some point that not EVERYBODY needs these devices, and that the vast majority of aftermarket amps that are sold have an MSRP of less than the cost of those tools.

Hence the reason I said or borrow one and yes everyone does need a proper way to set gains. Also I didn't see you offer any help.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

how many posts have you dedicated to dumping on correctly setting gains? the fact is that the normal joe cant ear-o-meter worth a damn............

and the argument that a tool cost more than the amp??? the amp aint worth dick if its clipped to holly hell...

ive talked to people that claim to be into audio and cant tell the difference between bit rates much less quality recordings.... ive worked with people that can tune a piano from across a room.... there is a difference "rollseyes"

you assume too much-

well if you want to know what products i have i have an american bass 15 year old 15 inch competition subwoofer which is mint condition no issues at all and a 15 year old ferinheight amp these devices are quite enough for what i need i dont need all the top of the line products, i highly agree with hispis i do not have the money to afford the dd-1 and anything that would make my life less o a heart ache, i work full time just trying to make a living and cant dump 200$ in any of those because if i could trust me i would have gotten it years ago along with all top of the line subs, amps, and speakers. and i literally almot died when i though i broke it because i would have been not able to replace it.

That is why I also suggested borrowing one, there are all kinds of guys on this forum that have the tools and loan them out free of charge a lot of them will even just do it for you.
