Is my sub broken or can i fix it?

Question

we were playin a song with alot of bass and my sub was up +6db and the part of the song had alot of bass then the sub just stopped with the bass and started makin this weird sound and it was really weak, it kinda like someone had farted, it was still playing with the song but really bad

can i fix it or is the sub broken

its a 12in JL audio total mobile audio sub with an xplod 600W amp(which was extremely hot)

Answer 1

your 1st mistake was buying Sony. ANYTHING from sony car audio is NOT really build "Ford Tough". u may have fried the amp. but check the sub on a different amp 1st to make sure. I can almost guarantee its the amp though

Answer 2

By the way you describe it, I'd say the subs are blown. There's no doubt you were over-powering the amp as well (hence the heat), but if you were over-powering it too much it would have went into protection mode anyway, and you would have heard absolutely no sound from the subs at all. So in the end I'd go back to where you got the subs and luckily you'll have some sort of warrantee on the speakers and can replace them if they're in fact blown. There are too many complicated components to a subwoofer driver for it to just be fixed. It'd be less time consuming and less money out of your pocket to just buy a new one or get it replaced.

Answer 3

Try hook up different sub cause it could be the amp. If the sub are the problem try to contact JL audio manufacturing for replace.
