Default Can i fix my L7 with blown voice coils?

I have a 12inch solo baric L7, im pretty sure the voice coils are bad, or its frozen. When i hook power up the the voice coils it doesnt even pop the sub up. I dont know shit about audio, so is there a way to fix this, or do i need to just trash it, and buy a new one?

Do you have warranty?

If not, contact Kicker and they will usually replace the voicecoil and recone which is cheaper then buying a new sub.. the magnet is a big part of the cost..

Anything can be fixed, you'll probably be stuck with a hefty bill though.

Yes, they recone but don't replace with stock voice coils.. they use some off-brand voice-coil.

Contact Kicker, as I said, and tell them what's up and they'll let you know what you need to do.

Probably because you didn't research the proper solution.
