Blown Sub??!!

[jeyrapboy]

Okay you guys quick question, i think that i may have a blown sub. Today i was at my buddys moms house and when i went to turn up my system i heard this horrible rattle comming from 1 of my subs. It sounds like someone put 2 or 3 screws on the dust cap. So i turn the gain down and it goes away. Im pretty lost here cuz the amp was tuned at a audio shop so i am PRETTY sure its not clipping. On top of that its only 1 sub that does it the other dosnt do it at all. SO as of right now i have the gained turn pretty much all the way down and the sound is pretty much gone. SO right now i am going to play it safe. Rather have a little beat then none at all.

So is my sub done for???

Yea i need to pick up another one. What do i need to do. My buddy is usually here to help but he is in basic training atm.

test coil impedance, sounds exactly like you blew a coil, my friends have done that by clipping them to death.

take the sub out, hook up each coil individually, if one coil works and the other doesn't, then you know what happened.

if the sub is a single 4 ohm or dual 4 or dual 2 when you hook up the dmm it should read around what ever the ohm load is for the coil if its a dual 4 each coil should read 4ohms if dual 2 each coil should read 2 ohms
