I'm assuming this sub is garbage


Recommended Posts

here is a link to a youtube video of the problem.

When i push it in it makes that noise, and when hooked up to my amp it makes a terrible slapping/clicking noise.

Still reads 4ohm though, haha.

I just wanna make sure its garbage before i throw it out

See... i really have no desire to fix it or anything. i have no need for it. I have two of them, and the other one is still good.

Just wanted to know if it should be tossed, or if it could be sold for anything at all

might have bottomed out and the VC is smashed so it rubs now.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

i just burnt out an infinity after a month of having it, got a kenwood off warranty, to hold me over until i can decided between a few different subs, but back to the subject at hand that doesnt sound too good, mine made a similar noise to that before it burnt out, maybe take it out of the box and check to see if anything inside is messed up

to me it sounds like the coil came undonr from the cone and thats what your hearing its not sellable so just remove the dustcap and check if thats the case glue it back in place and see what happens

edit: if this happend its probly from bottoming out so from what i saw above im agreeing that the coil couldve hit the bootom and got smooshed and is rubbing

haha, just noticed from watching the video..

It is out of the box, lol. Nothing really looks too bad on the inside

Aside from one of the negative attachments to the VC being kinda black... it all looks normal.

And for the sake of not starting ANOTHER topic.

I was having an electrical smoke issue.. first thought it was my 6x9's.. so i turned off the subwoofer on my headunit.. and turned it up.. No smoke..

I then found a small hole in my box, and thought $h1t its my sub!!..

Took the sub out... Sub still reads a good 4ohm and doesn't smell the slightest bit burnt or fried or anything..

How can i tell if my POS pioneer premium 240wrms amp is bad?

If it is i will just remove it from my car, lol.
