My subwoofer started smoking, any ideas why?

Question

i have one 12'' kicker cvr that has dual 4ohm voice coils parrallel wired to a 2ohm load with a max handling of 800w and an RMS handling of 400w. i have them run off a kicker ZX400.1 mono amp that puts out exactly 400w RMS when fully up, but its not fully up. i have the sub in a ported box specified for the sub. any ideas on what happened? it just cut off and started smokin and i cant even move the cone of the sub anymore its like something inside melted.

Answer 1

You smoked it , throw it and buy another .

Answer 2

You probably blew it up!why is it that people with those things listen to the same c**p...boom boom boom is all it sounds like.WE DON"T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!Plus you are and they are probably deaf or going to be too soon.Doesn't anyone care about their hearing anymore?

Answer 3

fried the coils go buy another and run it at 4ohm i have the same sub you'll still be happy with it. Breaking in will smell burnt but shouldn't smoke.

Answer 4
