Nightshade Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 If you have the subs wired in parallel and then series I probably know what happened. You more than likely burnt a tinsel lead wire. That would explain both subs not working. It would be the sub that is actually connected to the amp that the tinsel is burnt on. Pull both of the subs out of the box and I guarentee that one or more of your tinsel leads is burnt. I have seen it happen with those subs before. Oh yeah make sure you let me know if I'm right on this one. I just have a feeling that is what it is. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the subs are blown just because their not even getting abuse. Fear The Quack! Shot at 2007-08-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I hope that I'm not right, but like I said I've seen it happen before. It's fixable without scraping the woofer's cone. I can tell you how you would be able to fix it based on where it is broken on the lead at. Or it is fixable by taking the dust cap off and attaching new wires to the subs. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
