My amp turns on but my subwoofer doesn't???
My amp turns on but my subwoofer doesn't???
Like my title states, I'm having some trouble with my subwoofer.
I have an Alpine Type R 12", and Alpine amp and an Alpine headunit.
The story:
My subwoofer was working fine on Wednesday then I took it in to get 2 new tires so I took the subwoofer out. I put it back in the next morning, and now it doesn't work. However the amp turns on. I checked the wiring to the amp and to the sub. Everything looked as it did before. I'm not too sure what is wrong. Any suggestions will help! Thanks ahead of time!

When you removed the woofer did you pull the fuse from the amp? If you left it on, is there any chance the speaker wire touched each other and shorted?

^^^Yea im thinkin u shorted the amp bro, if all wires and connections are fine try connecting another sub just to check and u'll kno if its the amp or the subs........
Thanks for the replies guys! I didn't remove the fuses when I took the sub out. I hooked up another speaker and it didn't work either. I changed all the fuses yesterday and still nothing(2 on the amp, one for the power supply). If it shorted out, how do I go about fixing it, or am I screwed and have to buy another sub?
Took it to divine sound. They said they tested everything and they also said my subwoofer wasn't plugged in inside the box...but I KNOW it was. They told me I fried the outputs from my amp, but wouldn't the fuse go first? They were done in 10 min checking so I highly doubt they tested the wires. I would have talked to them more but I was at work when they checked. Any other help??????
Not really. If you are running a 2 channel amp, and running two 4 ohm subwoofers running parallel, and then bridging it, you are then running the amp at 2 ohms rather than 4 ohms where it is stable bridged, and you can blow a channel. Did you have a 2-channel or a mono block?
