The outputs on your amp may have went bad

I'd first put an ohm meter on the subs to make sure they are still completing a circuit and the wires aren't burnt

Then I would try a digital multimeter on the amp output to make sure it's still making an output.

Ok, I took the subs out today, one tensil on each sub is broke in half, me and my dad our gonna sodder it later, would that fix the problem? I pushed on the dust cap and they both sound fine.

Im waxing/buffing my car right now though but Nightshade if ur reading this pm me on how to fix it

lol that would be it, broken wire means to circit = no output. solder them, careful you dont hurt urself. good luck xD, at least ur amp isnt broken and a wire is repairable

I'll just take another stab in the dark at this one, but was it the negative wire on each sub that was broken?

You can re solder it if you want, but its just going to break again. Something is going on that is wrong if they are breaking. box size is wrong size and subs are unloading, or they are being clipped. Think thats really all that will cause breakage.

Your best bet will be to get tinsil wire and redo the whole wire from the terminal to the coil.

Rusty uses a plastic dustcap, so you can pry it off the cone and still re glue it back on after the repair.

You will have to solder the tinsil to the voice coil wire that will be hidden under the dust cap, and probolly glue.

well, nightshades pm confused the hell out of me, My dad said he could fix it, I have to wait a week or 2, if it comes down to it ill just buy new subs, I really don't care, All I was worried about mainly was my amp.

i'm gonna go pm rusty.

thanks guys for all the help and feed back.
