Alright I was fixing my car and working in the back were I got 2 10" Rockford DVC subs. They are sweet subs and all. I was listening to music rather quiet and I noticed only one sub was doing anything. The subs are fairly old (3 years) but can still pump BUT I was just wondering how long I have been running only one sub. No matter what I tried only one sub would play (the car wasn't started but I doubt that would matter) According to the guy who installed them for me they are VERY hard to blow. I have never abused them and have never turned the subs up so they *sneeze* or distort or anything. But like I said before, only one is pumping. Is there any possibility that wires or something came loose somewhere to make only one sub work, or something on my amp??
The only problem I had is a fuse blew once that controls my map lights and stereo. But it has since been replaced.
I don't know much about audio - my brother bought the subs, amp and deck for me. And I never EVER heard when playing them a bang, static or smoke coming off them that would lead me to believe I blew one.
Any ideas?
I can't remember how powerful my amp is but I think 1000watts and its PPI. I got a JVC Deck - specifically this one: http://www.jvc.ca/en/consumer/product-detail.asp?model=KD-SX870 Subs and Amp are 3 years old, deck is less than a year. (same with the install - subs and amp transferred from my brothers car)
Is there any way to change the channel?....lol sounds kinda funny
Yeah... I don't know how to get into the box or anything....take the sub out from its screws and see if its all connected? What should I be careful not to do??heh
How are the subs connected to the amp? Is it a 2 channel amp, if it is, is it bridged to one channel, or is each sub playing off of each left and right channel? Or.. is it a mono amp? If your amp is 2 channel, and your subs are each connected to the left and right channels, then take your rca inputs to the amp and switch them around. If the speaker that didn't play now plays then you have a signal problem coming from the head unit. If it stays the same, then either an internal amp problem, or loose wiring on the sub. Just unscrew the sub's mounting screws very carefully, and remove the sub. The wires should be attached to it....
