hey everyone. yesterday when i was driving, i noticed that my sub sounded a little weird. Then I pulled over and checked and it sounded as if it has blown (flapping noise). I wasnt playing the music loud or anything... I guess it just happened. I pulled the sub ( 2 ohm kicker solo-baric) out of the box and tested resistance on the + and - terminals and it did register at 1.9 ohms. Im not sure if that is a way to test if the sub has blown but everything seems to be ok. The wire that comes out of the magnet to the terminals on the sub seems perfect and untouched. Can someone help me out? I appreciate the help.

 

could be blown coil.. cuz i know thoes subs have a rubber surround and a hard plastic "woofer" section.. so it'd be hard to blow them.. the only thing i could think is the voice coil/coil is blown..

 

is there anyway i can fix the coil?

 

does it make a nasty scratching noise?

 

try pushing the cone in. if it starts making crunch noise then the voice coil is gone.

 

the sub makes a flapping noise... only at certain bass. it doesnt matter how high the volume i turn up... it doesnt play that frequency. I dont know much about fixing subs and never fixed one so maybe someone can educate me. I pushed the cone in and everything seems normal. Any ideas?

 

mine made this sound when the positive and negative were reverse. check taht

 

i checked the + and - terminals... the sub was working the day before and nobody touched it

 

you could use a dmm and test the resistance
