magillaru Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 What does it mean when one subwoofer is pushing out a lot further than the other one. The two subs are hooked up to a 2-channel amp (each sub going to one channel; NOT bridged). This just started happening the other day. I don't think the sub is blown. I'm thinking that one of the channels on the amp is bad (it's an old amp that a friend gave me). It's a PPI PCX2400. Also, the amp gets really hot just from a short time of play. *The gains are set at about 65-70%. *The sub still works, however, the excursion is much greater than the other one. Thanks!

bassl0va Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 It seems like your clipping your stuff with the amp up that high and the fact that it gets hot fast. So if it was clipping, it could very well be a blown sub.

The reason I don't think the sub is blown is because it still sounds the same (the sound quality still sounds great), just the excursion is much greater than the other sub. There's no distortion when playing or no noise when I push in on the sub.... ?????

Boon Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 It's an old PPI, it's probably fucked. The driver cards in them are made of rice paper and pieces of glass or something to that effect 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
