Alright, im not sure how many of you were reading my "help my 500/1 died" thread over in the AMP section but heres the story... I was moving my box/amp, it might have been on, but it wasnt blasting or anything, i dont remember it wasnt loud though... Anyways, i accidently pulled out the ground wire, so i turn the car off, hook it back up, and its dead, the amp wont turn on and the 3 places i took it shrugged their shoulders and said DEAD... anyways so i sent the amp off to jl for repairs, and i hadnt the slightest thought that my glorious 10w7, you know that 500 dollar sub was even harmed in the least bit... so my brother was putting it in his truck, gets it all wired up, nothing, nothing nothing nothing, the thing is fuked, im ready to pull my hair out, SOMEHOW (they havent determined what caused the amp to fail) my entire 1000$ amp/sub combo got FRIED when the ground got pulled, its a fuking joke, and i just have no idea what to do... if anyone can help that would be great... the sub is sitting out of box in my room, so i dont know what i can do as far as testing.... my brother said it wouldnt do anything untill they completely re wired it up and it would just make a wierd noise and move back and fourth (similar to what my type r did when i blew it)
not sure how to do the multimeter, but no scraping noise, everything pushes smooth and easy, doesnt smell burnt or blown like the type R, im just stumped... fuse where?
when your brother hooked it up to his car, what amp did he use.... A 1oh stable amp rite... When the ground pulled out it coulda hit the power wire and shorted it out..Dont see how it broke the sub
He was using a hifonics brutus, 600watt not sure what ohm... i am going to try the multimeter thing, how does the 9volt work? im at my cousins house so i am going to try it when i get back... let me know
Hook two little wires to the sub and then touch them to the battery. Doesn't really matter which to which, it will either go in or out and show that the coils are ok.
