Subwoofer randomly stopped working

[Dakotalee]

I have a 12” pioneer TSW126M subwoofer And randomly stopped working when playing music I checked all fuses and wires and nothing seems out of the ordinary the amps not in protection mode and is still getting power because the green light is still solid the amps rated at 2000 watts and the sub is 1300 watts max and 300 rms with the gain only at 1/3 of the way any ideas?

hey man check that the speaker wires are still hooked up inside & outside the box,

also check the pig tails one could have snapped if all that is fine check if there is signal gong into the amp if you are running more than one amp and the other is playing fine change the RCA over and see if anything comes through,

 

just check i don't have much back ground for your install if you plug the RCA going into your mono into your 4 channel you ll be sending low frequencies to your doors. Tweeters don't like that so be careful, if the other RCA works fine i would plug them back in in place and swap the RCA's on the deck to check the RCA going to your head unit

Ya there was a weird smell for about a day before it shut off but I looked when I smelt it everything seemed fine so I turned the gain down a bit

Ok thank you I’ll check the wires inside the box I’m going to see if I can hook the sub up to another amp and see if it works

Have you tried to play it again?

Just because the lights green doesn’t mean it’s putting out power.  
 

Try using a meter to test the out put, also test the sub wires unhooked and see if your getting an ohm read out.

Exactly the green light only means it's not in protect. I had a lamp that would light up just fine but did not play it all turns out the output stage was blown.

Same here.
