Sub is DEAD

[Mazdaspeed Boy]

I was driving down the road a couple of days ago and by piece of shit deck died again. so i reset it and like 3 mins later the sub quite working and i have no clue whats wrong. my dealership told me to read my manual. of course it doesn`t say anything about it. I was woundering if anyone else has this same problem and what i have to do to fix it


thanx

I took the whole back section out completely!!! The sub-blew, had the whole thing replaced, & within a week it blew again... My advice, take it out, buy 6x9's, hook them up to the already existing kenwood amp, & buy a box & another amp for the trunk... keep the whole set-up so you can put it back in when ya sell the car.... Easier than the headaches (or lack there of)...

It's because the sub sux.. mine died so I had to take it to the dealer twice to get it fixed..

2 weeks after I got it fixed, the sub blew.

I'm sad to hear that a few members are having troubles with their MSP Sub's. But, it really makes me appreciate my stock MP3 setup

Mine blew after i got my sirius back after a month, dealer is going to fix it better after the winshield incedent

Did you check the gain setting on the amp, mine was turned up very high so I turned it down a bit. I think the dealers forget to check this before they sell the cars...

Tips:

The sub gain should be no more then 3/4 of the way. Actauly 2/3 is to much.
NEVER use the bass adjustment, LEAVE IT AT 0!
The NF is the adjustment for the sub.
If the deck goed out you will need to hold AM down for 3 seonds to reactivate the sub.

As long as the sub is in a sealed up enclosure it will not blow when played properly. THis is not a dual 12" bandpass box, its a single 8. Listen for distortion and back off when you hear it.
DIstortion is what is killing subs.

I took it back to the dealership today and they had a nice long look at it and told be they would replace the whole sub and amp setup :). they are also gonna replace the swaybar bushings so there will be no CLUNCK for a while

Just got mine back today from the dealer, My tech replaced the whole setup amp and woofer to my suprise. I didnt argue a fresh amp and sub. Im gonna take it to the stereo store next door to my work and have them adjust the amp for me
