My sub ('06 WMD) started making a weird noise tonight, so I took it out and checked the coils. One still reads 2.2ohms, but the other one reads 6.9ohms.

That mean it's blown? It still performs but it makes a rattling noise. The coil still looks good, and isn't scraping or anything. It's wired to 1ohm but reads 2.3.

Then tell me what I did to it because I sure as hell don't know. It's been working perfectly fine for the past few months until today.

never heard of that sub. probably like human vs. dogs; dogs die faster unless a human is in a unforseen event.

Why do you guys seem to think that both coils go out at the same time?

try hooking up power to jut the coil in question and see what happens. if it rubs or makes any noise shes done. coil may have come unwound.
