is it normal that BOTH would blow at once...and that 2 solobaric L7's blew from maybe 500w each max? im running a single hifonics bx1500d at 2ohms...which is like 500w to each sub.

A) power surge from fucking around with your gains

B) ungodly amounts of distortion from fucking around with your gains

C) solobarics seem to blow at the drop of a hat regardless... are they under warranty?

[rangcrx]

you will always smell subs burning if thay are new for a couple of days but i beat you burned out the wires how do you have it briged

[Bumpin Expo]

mmmm friend voice coils

[dropcivic]

fried voice coil, brings back memories. Ranks up there with burning tires and 116 octane gas.

[aimisgoop]

i didnt fuck with the gain at all...the gain is set at like 3/4 way up and has stayed there since day one...A&B Audio did the install so they wired it up and shit...its still under warranty...i jsut have to pay for shipping.

[93ex]

subs are shitted out

sounds like you drove the amp into clipping, and when voice coils fry, the ohm load changes to wo kows what

[TIM TIM TIM]

i blew 3 subs all at once.. 2 subs doesnt suprise me at all

[kpr10is]

Maybe you should try a real stereo shop instead of A&B :)
They hook u up if u know em but I wouldnt get anything installed there, I dont know why I just dont get the best feelilng when I walk in there.

EDIT if your in clearwater, I'd go to AVE Audio on 19 across from macaroni grill, or Audio Empire down in Pinellas Park....if you want any glass or custom work like that done, Audio Empire is fuckin awesome.

The solo's are definitely having problems this year. Especially the 15s.

[dropcivic]

that is what happens when they send their stuff out to the facotry with the lowest cost. That is why we recone our stuff.

[aimisgoop]

oh well no worries anymore...someone broke in my truck last nite and stole everything...including my blown subs, while also sucessfully hot wiring the truck. thank god for FoMoCo and their factory anti theft devices. the car had power, lights were on, window washers pumpin, gauges all lit up, seeing how they didnt have my keys they couldnt get it to turn over tho cause the chip in the keys. :) fucking bastards.

[TIM TIM TIM]

yes sir it was. right in my driveway. they stole my subs, box and amp...and the fucking FACEPLATE to my deck, not the deck, just the fuckin faceplate...they ripped the ignition all the way out but couldnt get the truck started thankfully....suprisingly they didnt take ANY of my CDs...i guess black people dont like cannibal corpse and hatebreed. not much i can do now, i have a $500 decuctable, i duno how much the steering column and shit is gonna be tho. the joys of living in fuckin clearwater. minority central, USA

[Kirk]

take the car to a dealer and let them handle everything....but of course let your insurance take care of the costs :)

How do you know it was black people? You shouldn't assume it was minorites just because...I know white people who steal too.

Suggestions would be

1) Get a two way alarm. Yeah it costs around 300$ but wouldn't that be worth it to prevent this again? You'll know what your car is doing all hours of the night and if someone is fucking wit it, your pager will yell for help, and so will the car

2) Get a weapon/make a plan of what you will do when that pager does go off

exactly, its easier sed then done..id love to move, i need to find a roomate tho, one who i can trust will not leave me stuck with rent...which isnt many of my friends.

[stangerang]

i've never blown up a sub........

you had to have messes something up pretty badly........


how were they wired?

[aimisgoop]

it didnt BLOW UP...it was wired 2 ohm by the stereo shop that insalled em, i took em outta the box, they looked fine..no rips, no burn marks nothing...just when turned up a little bit it sounded like they were smacking against something...i tested each one seperatly and they both did it.

[jchargu3]

I blew 3 subs in 2 weeks...

I feel the pain..

First to go was a sucky Sony Xplod
2nd was a nice JBL that was already dying
the 3rd was some cheap as POS that i had laying around

I have a JL in there that is working until i rebuild.

[Turbo GSR Civic 95]

the solos's are very picky about the box they are in if its not right they will blow if its a sealed box and not completely air tight they will blow and if its a ported box and the port and/or box size aren't right they will blow also they dont handle low bass in a poted box well at all so if the crossover was set too low it will cause them to blow also
