Friend got his subs replaced worked then stopped

[Rebel4055]

My friend had to replace his subs because one of them blew a voice coil and after replacement it worked for a few days then stopped, he also said it would act weird hit normally and then cut out and then work again.

He has 2 RockFord Fosgate P2D212

A clarion 1550w amp.

His amp light is on like it would work but the subs don't hit, checked the RCA's and they checked out ok.

I'm thinking maybe his amp took a crap on him.

I wish he wouldn't have a dealer mess with it...

EDIT: Also the voice coil blowing was his fault for cranking too hard on it, he has now learned his lesson lol.

check all connections on amp, ground power remote speaker wire everything. make sure his gains and bass boost arent maxed out (just to make sure). also make sure speaker wire on woofers arent loose.

Forgot to add checked the power,ground, remote wire and also used a jumper wire to the power and it still didn't work. His gains aren't maxed. But not for sure on the bass boost.

EDIT: Also checked his wires in the HU.

I bet this stuff wouldn't be happening if he would have taken it to better dealer of the bunch. Or asked me to do it

EDIT2:

The dealer set the amp down to break in the subs before they turned it up. Hasn't been like 3-4 days since he got the new subs.

Sounds like the subwoofer output went bad on the amp. Buy a new amp.

He's been wanting to get a rockford amp for awhile but he just layed down $1,500 on rims and tires LOL.

Are those subs dual 2 voice coils?

Just made this in paint so a bit crappy LOL.

This is how its wired...

I hope this makes sense.

His amp http://www.caraudiocraze.com/amplifiers/mono/clarion-dpx11551-1550w-mono-amplifier/prod_1149.html

EDIT: He had this system installed by http://www.deputyelectronics.com/ which is a very bad installer and we have heard nothing but bad stories from them.

Also my brother experienced how crappy they were.

Then he went to a better dealer called audio source.

I think that's right but it really hurts my eyes trying to figure your drawing out. Still could be the amp's subwoofer outputs. (basically where you put the speaker wire on the amp) but more technical
