Voltage drop.

i.e. Cold days/mornings/overheated amps in summer/ or a loose connection.

Those will all do it.

And of course, the underpants gnomes that steal ur bass notes. :blink:

You guys are freakin crazy..Well I am glad someone else has experienced this. While were at it my freakin ears have been killin me. My other speakers didn't make my ears hurt..This one does..Man my ears for the last week just feel sore down inside of them..Like I need some ear plugs..If I stay out of my car and don't crank it they don't hurt. If I crank on it..Man they hurt...Lsn2meboom916..I did notice this yesterday. When I was accelerating i turned my music up at the same time and my car hesitated so bad..I mean I could acctually feel the spark being robbed right out of it..See I have an aftermarket MSD ignition system and I think that My stock stuff isn't cutting it...At work I am going to check my voltage..I check it at the amp correct!

also, i broke a tinsel lead once and it made the sub not as loud too, and eventually the other one went out.

Well I made a visual inspection of the box and everything is still together on it..Notthing cracked or anything. The speaker goes up and down with zero cracking rubbing sounds nothing like that ...I hooked my volt meter up to my wires going into my amp and it read 1.1 ohms so it seems to still be at 1 ohms so that means that the wires are still connected. I don't know..A cold front did come through so maybe that had something to do with it..As far as my voltage goes..Can some one send me some money to get an alternator and another Battery?? I know there are some rich people out there that need a tax write off or something..Ha Ha..Send money to [email protected] about $500 dollars..Just kiddin yall... :rolleyes:
