Anyone know about audio systems ? My subs are ****in up

[guest589745]

I got 2 rockford fosgate dual voice coil punch stage 3 subwoofers, each 6-800 watts RMS I think, and a rockford fosgate 1000 watt amp.

I have them in my extended cab s-10 inside a box with a "hole" in it where the connector for the speaker wires to the amp wires was and one of the subs is pushin more than the other. I dont know whats up, they are both wired correctly and were working fine but now I am having this problem.

Maybe a coil went out ?

Please help me out, I am not too knowledgable with this shit.

thanks.

I know you said everything is wired correctly, but have you checked EVERYTHING from the amp to the box to the speaker? YOu could of shaken a connector loose inside the box.

well they were wokring fine for a long time so I dunno.

What connectors are you talkin about? I checked eveyr connection that I can see besides what is inside the amp and if that is a problem I basically have to replace the amp because I cant solder anything that small.

Inside the box....Or should I assume that the wires just go throught the hole?

the wires just go throuhg the hole and connect to the subs.

[fLgAtOr]

the wires just go throuhg the hole and connect to the subs.

What about the connection to the speakers? Not to ask MOO questions, but I've shaken wires loose before and it didn't sound like you opened up the box and checked.

[guest589745]

I did dude. I took the subs out and checked em and everything. they are conected fine.

Someone said since htere is a hole on one side there is no pressure and that will cause that speaker to move more which is whats happening.

???

couple questions: is it a single or dual chamber box?? By hole do you mean a port or just a speaker wire terminal?

dual chamber and wire terminal.

are the speakers moving to the music? if so, is there no bass?
if they are not moving, is your amp lit up?

Yes they are moving to the music. Ther is bass, just more from one than the other. My amp is lit up too.

make sure that the box is sealed as tight as possible? if so, make sure the positive and negative wires are on the right way, otherwise the speaker could be pumpin backwards...

I am not retarded man lol. The sub was working fine before, then it does this. I am assuming the coil wire came loose inside the sub or one coil went out. ??

Sounds like it.

Check the dead channel on the good sub...just make sure its not an amp issue.

You can also try running each coil independently...

[guest589745]

yea good idea, switch the wires of the subs and see what happens.

[fLgAtOr]

Not only that, but try each coil of the bad sub as well. You'll probably have to take them out and it will sound like shit, but if ones dead, it will be pretty obvious.

[aadrenaline]

get rid of the rockfords and get some JL W7's lol

[cfiler]

Sounds like a coil problem. I'd do what fLgAtOr suggested. It's the best way to check it imo.

[mousetraps]

i agree

[The OutLord]

I rekomend Servin Vega Strocker pro 15inch (8ohm)...

My litlle brother have one..
It`s funny .
When He trun upp the bass as much as it is impossible, IT Is litoral impossible to focus on a spot in the room!!
My eye`s blury!!

It`s realy unpleasant when it feels like I lose my breath in my lungs.!

It`s kicking realy hard!

[fLgAtOr]

Any progress?

[guest589745]

Any progress?

Nope, I need a new sub I think. Piece of shit. Im gettin some kicker 15" solobarickes.
