RE audio recone options and help?

[Ben G.]

Hey everyone. I got a bud that bought a used RE SX15 of ebay. Well he got the sub and hooked it up to 1ohm to the elemental nine.1.(elemental desighns biggest amp on the market) The amp is rated for like 1200watts. I think max would be like 1500 on it. Anyways he hooked the sub up and he said he was bumpin it and it just quit. He let me check it out and all the leads are intact, sub moves in and out free with the touch of your hand. The subs v.c.'s both read the correct ohms also. Soooo my question to you guys is what could possibly be wrong with the sub? We hooked it up in several different vehicles whith different amps and setups: same thing no sound out of the sub...None of the amps go into protect or shut off, and all the amps have sufficient power and are well grounded. Please help! I noticed a slight spot by the terminal on one of the v/c's it lookes like melted a smidget. barley noticable. maybe from the factory? no black burnt colors on the lead though? So J/W what you all may think? And my freind was also wondering if it would be possible to take a RE SXX recone and put that in his SX basket and magnet? He was curious if that would work? I don't know much about Re at all so thats why I ask. One more question: Has anyone had problems with the RE SE, or any Re subs + lead wire breaking? I have seen 2 diff RE SE15"s with either 1 or both + lead wires snapped.

remove sub leads from amp, and "pop" the sub with a 9v square battery. if it pops, you have other issues, let us know.

well i already know there is a problem with the sub....it does not play!!!!!! what is this testing?

[Destram]

You don't know if it's the sub for sure yet. Use the 9v battery to see if the sub moves.

if it reads fine then it should play?

No. If it reads, you could be getting a reading on the internal resistance of the meter, or a shorted coil, etc. POP it. Then let us know.
