Forevrbumpn Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 drill batter tap it to the amp out- speaker wires, which ever one doesnt pop, is the blown one Or depending on how its wires, you will have to go to each one Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

Mowgli Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 i have 8 subwoofers..and something blew today.. how can i found out which one blew? Put a multimeter on the ohm setting on each voicecoil. If one goes to Inifnity, it's blown. Quote Current: Two old school Orion HCCA 12's, No amp currently. Did run DAT Hellfire Prototype. Old set up: Orion 2NT 15", Logic Soundlabs GSX32D, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raytard Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 play a 60hz test tone at a decent volume and use a strobe light set at 60 hz, it should make them appear to stop moving at a certain position (out, or in, or somewhere in the middle, but it should trick your eye into seeing it not move, kinda like a timing belt light) theoretically the blown one should be at a different degree phase, or not moving at all(which I assume isnt the case) 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...

raytard Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 sometimes you just notice the db decrease...I knew when a single coil of my dvc cvr's blew back in the day because it didnt seem as loud, since the one woofer was now 4ohm instead of 2 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...
Forevrbumpn Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 The strobe light deal would work if he is playing any music at all, I think based on how its wired, he has no sound at all, and Iam thinking he is worried its either the amp, or subs- maybe no bass at all?
