01xtreme Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Dont get discouraged, bro. It is just a signal that you're indeed ready for an upgrade. Look at the bright side, once you go to the lvl 4's you can recone them easily Quote My System: Pioneer AVH-P3200BT 4-Dayton 7 inch reference series (front doors) 8-Onkyo 3/4 inch tweeters (dash) 1-Sundown Audio 100.4D (mids/highs) 2-18" BTL's (for now) Crescendo 3kwp (for sale) Complete rebuild coming soon...

Kicker Guy Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 There is no recone for L7's. 4 L7's can take that amp just fine... were you clipping them?

loganuf Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 thanks for the support guys, i really appreciate all of you who are trying to help me out....it means a lot. my signal wasn't clipped, i had the amp set right with the head unit voltage.....but idk, something went wrong somewhere....but now i just have to try and wait and sell the other 2 subs, and just save the rest of the money for the lvl 4's.

raytard Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 all kicker subs will just randomly go whenever they want i'm pretty sure theres like a kicker fairy that comes around at night and messes with something, so next time you play with it it goes up in smoke... but for reals, if you say screw it, you know in like 2 weeks you'll miss it, sell the extra subs, keep that awesome amp, and get some 18's and kicker is field destroy, solo-x has a spair system, not a recone. it is literally a sub with the magnet unbolted (frame, cone, surround, spider, tinsels, terminals, coil, etc...lust no motor) i just threw out like 4 over christmas break...lets just say that 5krms is a joke...more like 1400 Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR Boom Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I know your stressing at the moment. But dam you want to quit car audio, because two subs Blew????? Maybe you should.. Remember ever time that bass hits, that is one beat closer to bye bye, subs don't last forever. And on the bright side if you do get the DC's,,,, recones are easy.... Quit bitching, get your HEAD Up, and get the DC's then you will have a rebuildable sub, and not a throw away...

slugdub Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 What I was going to ask is if the speakers came unwired, then perhaps too much wattage was going into the others? I figured the change in resistance is a good failsafe that kick in, but for example, if my amp is mono: 456 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (657 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms) And I have 2 speakers hooked up @ 2 ohms and suddenly one comes unplugged somehow (wouldn't happen with the way DVC 2 ohms are wired up, but theoretically speaking) the other would get quite a jolt. This example doesn't really work because I'd probably hear it and turn it down quick, but if it happened when they were new and not broke, good lord.
