subwoofer cutting out
i have a phoenix gold 12" sub in a ported enclosure powered by a bridged 75
watt boss amp. i have it connected to the deck with rca cables. my sub only works some of the time. i tried hooking it up via the speaker level inputs and still have the same problem. therefore it is safe to say that the rca's are fine. i have checked all of the connections. i am getting power to the amp and grounding is good. what do u think the problem is here? fried amp? main speaker sound is fine btw |

When the sub quits working you need to check to see if the amp is turning
off or going into protection mode. It may be the amp, but the problem may be the speaker wires between the amp and the speaker box, or even the connections on the speaker box, or internally. Does it quit when you hit bumps, after you've driven the amp hard for a while, randomly, etc?

i have checked all connections. the amp light is on when the sub does not
work. i hooked up the sub wires to my main speakers, but they did not work either. kinda seems like an amp problem to me. looked inside case, saw no burnt spots "Tony Fernandes" wrote in message ...
