R.I.P. he probably has jaundice? I’am not trying to hate but his hands are shaking so badly how can you not notice it. That’s a far tell sing that he haz a drinking problem/Alcoholic.
Derman Derman jaundice causes a yellowish tint to the skin also the eyes turn noticeably yellow. he may have Parkinson's, people can live a normal length life with it. But it's most likely essential tremor... it's the most common thing to cause a shake, people usually confuse it with being Parkinson's.
Thanks for the tip! I did exactly what you've shown. What does it mean when the rated 4 Ohms subwoofer reading is only at 1.3 - 1.5 on the reading? Does that mean it's pretty much dead or something? I did a test on the 2nd sub and that one seems normal; rated at 3.9.
I have a 2ohm L7 15inch q class and it started to smoke today. Still works and seems fine. Just a lot of smoke and no clue where it came from other than the coil. So if the smoke happened does it mean it’s ruined? Even tho it still seems like it works fine??
It's likely that this remote or trigger wire is connected to a constant 5v line. (This line stays on even when car is turned off) what you may want to do is take a look at your car and splice the trigger wire to something that turns off when the car is off. So something like say your plate lights or in some cases the deck may have a dedicated trigger line out from it. Hope this helps.
Hi! I saw that you are an expert on car audio. I have installed a Pioneer AVH X2800-BS in my 2000 Nissan Pathfinder w/ the Bose system. I did install the Scosche CNN02 adapter as well. I had it set up and it was sounding good, but I lost sound in all four speakers (first the front and then the rear) after about 30mins of use. A buzzing noise coming from under the front right fender started to occur once the sound was lost. I am wondering what is going on! Thanks
Thanks for your help. I have recently taken the sub out of the enclosure and I could not find anything. I then rebuilt the enclosure as there was some slight damage to the carpet. I have never experience this rattling noise like this before at low volumes. Very strange. Thanks again
any ohm but not above 4ohm! or your amp will short because of lack of resistance. 4ohm will make your woofer sound the full sound and 2ohm won't be that loud. but if you want your thing to last longer then i prefer you'd install an 2ohm.
pioneer makes a 2 ohm and 4 ohm version of a 12 inch sub which one should i get or does it not matter? which one will sound better off an alpine 1000 watt rms amp?
Don't forget the tap test. If you tap the cone and hear a fuzzy rattling or scratching it may have a coil broken free of the bobbin. You may not hear that just moving the cone in and out.
Interesting, I have an older set of Orion XTR Series 2 12's (from the mid 90's old school) and they both measure 6.0 - 6.1 ohms on my multimeter yet they're rated @ 4ohms. Just to verify it wasn't my multimeter's fault I tested a Pioneer 12" sub and it measures 4.1ohms (4ohm rating).
extra step, if your sub isn't producing sound and is still wired in powered on .just gently press in on the cone. if it responds momentarily scratchy . Your voice coil has slipped off the former. these in most cases can be repaired. and this is a sign of over powering and over heating. or it's just blown.seen allot but rarely mentioned.
how are you at soldering those little wires together? My hands shake enough to piss me off when I'm trying to solder but I think that was years of using impact guns and such at my work.
often times its just a worn out or shifted spider causing an issue, first of all don't deal with subwoofers that have a full diameter dust cap, this design is just to keep the buyers from removing the dust cap and getting into the pole area for re gapping the voice coil
hey guys. im new to caur audio systems. and just got my subwoofer yesterday. it plays in 4 ohm as well as in this vid my questions is. 1. the terminals on each side of the sub is for what amplifier and ? 2. the sub i got can take 600 wrms does it matter if the amp can take 500 wrms in 2 ohm or in 4 ohm ?
Hello, where can i buy the Custom Trim Finishing Surround Subwoofer 10 of them? I can't find them anywhere online, and I need them for Pioneer 10" subwoofers,Thank you all for all the information
eHow I Own a Sony HT-M5 Home theatre component system ... while playing loud music suddenly my system turned off and smoke started coming out of the Subwoofer_(model- SS-WP7M) ... now when i connect my subwoofer to my reciever and play songs, a distorting vibrating noise comes from the subwoofer... any idea if it can be repaired?
TechBuzz Wow, this actually sounds like some short has been developed which let DC get right into your subwoofer and fry it. On a side note eletronics work on smoke, don't you know? When the (magical) smoke escapes, your electronics stop working :D
one of mys subs blew a voice coil and the other is reading 2.9 ohms on each voice coil steady when its 4 ohm DVC... is this half blown ??? is it still useable? it was hooked up wrong before..only 1 vc was being used..
My subwoofer moves easily when you push on it but it makes a screeching noise almost like something is rubbing . Is there a way to fix it or is it dead ? When I put a little pressure on the surround while it plays on the 1 side the screeching stops .
You just made me test my old inphase 1200 watt sub. Reads bang on 4 holms 🙂 pity I don't know anything about amps. Cos it's amp just blow its fuse straight away
hey man i have 2 12's legacy lw12590 2000 watts max and 1000rms and i wonder what would be a good amp to use them ..at how many watts....what brand...and how many amplifiers please...thanks...
i have 2 kicker L7 but one of the sub when i play them a noise comes from the inside of the subwoofers is that blow or is there something wrong with the coil?? its dual 2 ohm
ithe negative and positive wire got attach and there is no sounds now my subwoofer. can some one please advise if i need to chahages it or repair it? im on budget now ?
so youre going to run an amp per sub? if that is the case, and your amps are one ohm stable, get the dual 2ohm subs and wire them down to one ohm. if the amps arent one ohm stable, you gotta get the dual 4 and wire them down to 2 ohms.
i have a question, when i turn off my car the light on the amp stays on and it messed up 2 batteries already. what is wrong with the wireing? cause if you disconect the remote it should turn the light off, but it stays on. what advise can you give me?
my vibe slick makes a farting noise when the bass beats hit when turned up. the speaker on the other channel is ok though. the farting one isnt solidly mounted though. Its sitting but the plastic clips have partially broken. Will a slightly loose fit on my parcel shelf really cause this or would you say its being overpowered? Says 80wrms max. My amp is infinity 150w per channel.
@Sandfire77 your amp is over heating, when it over heats it shuts off to cool down, 300 watts is not enough to puch kicker comp 12 no matter how many watts it says "and even though the amp may say 300W it might nit be a true 300. i have Rockford Fosgate 850 w amp pushing 2 kicker comps and it over heats alot
hello my sub is stuck(wont move up and down) but when i put a multimeter on it its a steady 3.2 ohms dosent move at all could you please help me thanks
My subwoofer recently started making a plastic on plastic slapping noise. It wasnt tht bad when it first started but its gotten worse. When i push down on the sub it makes no noise, but it is slighty easier to push down than my other sub. Is it blown? If not what could it be? Thanks for your reply!
MrDbro94 Check whether the frame didn't become loose. If not, then the problem's with the voice coil (or the material it's wrapped on), so you might not be able to fix it without taking it apart. Also, you could try moving it in and out (pushing it in, then out) for a while and listen to the sounds it gives.
hey first of all great tutorial but I wanted to ask you some questions if u can answer them :D I don't have a sub but I have a 450 Watts Pioneer Speaker so I was playing some songs (Loud) and suddenly one of the speakers stop working I tried to test it on the other channel but it didn't work … so I did what you ur doing and it doesn't have any sound when pressing on it and its not frozen or anything but I don't know this device of yours so what do your think is the problem
Funny how I have the same exact speakers as you and Im wondering if they are blown they are old ones been slamming for a while got tired of the 1 ohnm 2k watts when they are rated for 500
Hey I was driving on the freeway yesterday and my sub was bumpin.... then around likr7 I tryed playin it and it stoped working my amp is a sony 45wx2 and my sub is a sony xplod but I can't tell why its not working ... can you help?
Hey, i just bought a sub and im doing exactly what u told me to do(push down on the sub, and sees if it doesent stick) and i did it, but at the very end where it cant be pushed no further, i can hear it scratching. 800W its registered at and i got it on a 600W kenwood amp. it feels nice and strong, pumps strong, but im wondering now if its blowen or not now..
Hey I got 2 kicker compR subs in a custom ported box there dual 4ohm I've had them maybe 3 weeks one of them when I push it in has a little scratchy sound but it's only when I push it in in a certain spot is it . But it still hits really hard and it not stiff or anything is it blown?
Also I have been considering ditching the P1's and getting a pair of 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch P3's. Should I just pawn the P1's and go with the P3's? Send me a message in my inbox. Thank you.
they are 600 rms, and the hifonics amp, at 2 ohms is getting about 900 watss rms, and the bass is all the way and negative 8! there wired together at 2 ohms, so i dont see any problems, you know what imean? but thanks for the reply, and ill check it out, i am already subscribed too :)
if u need to check the sub and dont want to take it out just take a double a battery and make contact on the pos and neg, if the subs work they will make a small bass note. good if u dont have a volt meter and need a quick trouble shoot if u arnt getting power from amp.
What does it mean when your subwoofers are WAY quieter than normal at a certain volume than usual. tonight they were playing perfect then all of a sudden they were way quieter. i have L7s and they are dual 2 ohm voice coil.
Great video thanks ! Quick question if I may. I have a powered sub box (fosgate p300-12). My leads are burnt and one split, and the spiderweb thing is crispy and burnt. I want to replace the subwoofer but have no way of knowing how many ohms it is ? How can I find out ?
I have a kicker L7 12 in. rated at 750 rms and have a kicker zx750.1 amp powering it. i usually play my music with the bass control know on full bass and play it loud but not so loud that my sub distorts. yet when i play certain songs on a low volume (2 or 3 when i usually play at 16), i hear a buzzing noise coming from the sub. I think it's just bc the bass isn't loud at that volume but im worried that something might be wrong with my sub. ive only had it for 6 months. any advice? thanks
1. singel 10" but the amp provides power for 5 satellite speakers as well 2. ported 3. dunno its a tv/computer system and u cant change 4. I have all settings at default but i think the amp is damaged in some way
hey, i have a question, i have 2 RE se subs, and the voice coils get hot., and the cone gets hot, but i tested them and they read a steady 1.8 ohm, and its a dual 2 ohm sub, is it bad? or should i not worry about it?
What would cause subs cutting out... Happens after about an hour of play "not too hard @50-75% volume. Amps not even warm, subs not over heating & connections seemed to be fine? Any ideas
Im thinking something went wrong with my wiring then or unless my turn knob is bad cause my 12s arent kicking anymore but they also aren't blown either given what this guy stated.
I've come across a few of this gentleman's video's today and have found him to be extremely insightful.
"Do not test where there is air" What he meant to say was .. "It is best to test the speakers in the vacuum of space." :)
Where there is no sound.
sounds legit though... also never mentioned if you could test it under water. Just saying... lol
Wow this video is from 2009 and its 720p you don't see that everyday
Mouze Lol avatar was in 720p and 3D

for this to work, make sure you are in an environment with no air...
hahaha
+R3MIX MODZ Go to moon to check weather the woofer is blown xD
no air that can disrupt the cone movement duh
R3MIX MODZ hi
R3MIX MODZ so go to space
That is for the case of an instalation in a space station or stuff.
Excellent video. Clear, thorough, and to the point.
This is one of the first videos ive seen where its to the point. No b.s about other things or a 3 minute intro on begging for likes or subscribes.
Yeah the internet used to be good
YOU can tell this guy is a bad ass, If you knew what was wrong and you were right he'd still tell you your wrong he's such a bad ass.
Had a good laugh at your comment lol
lol this comment is hilarious! he's a professional con artist.
Keenan Erby the guy sells audiovox... enough said.
1:30 make sure the voltmeter is set to ohms btw
Well I have a blown 10 inch sub what should I do repair it or replace it and if I repair it how do I do so
if so many people want to ridicule the video....why would you even take the time to watch it when you know what its about.....
Short and straight to the point. Nice video
"Make sure you arn't in an enviroment where there is air" 1:41 Sorry I just had to point that out.
I NOAH MANN you didn’t listen to everything he said
@@JacobEcret I know it was just so funny I hit pause before I continued.
He meant 'wind' when he said air; because any slight movement on the cone's surface will change the OHM reading
That's why I tested my speakers outside of the environment.
Yeah so basically test out in space
Thanks for the tip!
I did exactly what you've shown. What does it mean when the rated 4 Ohms subwoofer reading is only at 1.3 - 1.5 on the reading? Does that mean it's pretty much dead or something?
I did a test on the 2nd sub and that one seems normal; rated at 3.9.
You will smell it too, you will know! Kinda cool tho something i didnt even know. Takes the guess work outta it, or if your buying used subs as well?
Are the speaker good?
I don't think they notice that the chair he is sitting in is a wheelchair.
Jersey Piney oh shit I didn't notice that....
I did.
OG status 5 star general 💂🎖️
I did notice he's very shakey. Didn't notice the wheelchair.
Lol
Thank you sir, this video was very helpful to me.
I have a 2ohm L7 15inch q class and it started to smoke today. Still works and seems fine. Just a lot of smoke and no clue where it came from other than the coil. So if the smoke happened does it mean it’s ruined? Even tho it still seems like it works fine??
hey man can a blown subwoofer perform well? or that causes the amp to not hit as hard like before the sub was blown?
It's likely that this remote or trigger wire is connected to a constant 5v line. (This line stays on even when car is turned off) what you may want to do is take a look at your car and splice the trigger wire to something that turns off when the car is off. So something like say your plate lights or in some cases the deck may have a dedicated trigger line out from it.

How do you fix it
2ohm. is it a single 2ohm voicecoil? dual 2 ohm? whats the amps power rating @ 2 ohm.
Interesting, I have an older set of Orion XTR Series 2 12's (from the mid 90's old school) and they both measure 6.0 - 6.1 ohms on my multimeter yet they're rated @ 4ohms.

how are you at soldering those little wires together? My hands shake enough to piss me off when I'm trying to solder but I think that was years of using impact guns and such at my work.
I'm getting a noise that sounds like something is inside it bouncing around very rapidly. Should I upgrade?
my akia 15' blew up 2 days after i bought it at a party gig i had! $350 sub fml
If my subwoofer is reading 3.2 ohms should It still fire?
One of my subwoofers works but rattles the other one works perfect any suggestion on what it may be?
Cowboys Nation polarity on your sub my friend. Check your wires and make sure they are stabilized and soldered on correctly, hope this hopes !
@hockeyforlife23 you can buy it in every electronics shop. Ask for a "MultiTester", many times is cheaper to buy the multitester than the ohmnimeter.
often times its just a worn out or shifted spider causing an issue, first of all don't deal with subwoofers that have a full diameter dust cap, this design is just to keep the buyers from removing the dust cap and getting into the pole area for re gapping the voice coil
ive had mine for over 6 months and crank them hard all the time. they are still perfect
Great information without a bunch of filler. This is easily one of the best produced TH-cam videos out there. 👍
best is pushing it
so im buying a kicker 12 l5 single square but it don't come with a box dose the box matter or can i buy any box? please respond
hey guys. im new to caur audio systems. and just got my subwoofer yesterday. it plays in 4 ohm as well as in this vid my questions is.
1. the terminals on each side of the sub is for what amplifier and ?
2. the sub i got can take 600 wrms does it matter if the amp can take 500 wrms in 2 ohm or in 4 ohm ?
hey i wanna ask, if my sub onli smell onli once, does tat mean it is blown or jus overheating?
Hello, where can i buy the Custom Trim Finishing Surround Subwoofer 10 of them? I can't find them anywhere online, and I need them for Pioneer 10" subwoofers,Thank you all for all the information
If you can't push down on the sub, that doesn't necessarily mean it's blown, it simply means that it has a stiff suspension. Like a Fi BTL :)
eHow I Own a Sony HT-M5 Home theatre component system ... while playing loud music suddenly my system turned off and smoke started coming out of the Subwoofer_(model- SS-WP7M) ... now when i connect my subwoofer to my reciever and play songs, a distorting vibrating noise comes from the subwoofer... any idea if it can be repaired?
a lot of sonys do that.
the coil in it could have fried? get it reconed?
Henry J Got It repaired From A Local Store As Sony Refused to Do So . Repaired for Just Rs.1000(approx 18$) in India
TechBuzz Wow, this actually sounds like some short has been developed which let DC get right into your subwoofer and fry it.
On a side note eletronics work on smoke, don't you know? When the (magical) smoke escapes, your electronics stop working :D
TechBuzz
Dont buy Sony ;-)
are legacy 500watt good
If you are wondering what brands of subs to buy I recommend The JBL pb8

You just made me test my old inphase 1200 watt sub. Reads bang on 4 holms 🙂 pity I don't know anything about amps. Cos it's amp just blow its fuse straight away
so would it be the same if I used a ported box in my car? I don't know nothing about how this bass things work.
hey man i have 2 12's legacy lw12590 2000 watts max and 1000rms and i wonder what would be a good amp to use them ..at how many watts....what brand...and how many amplifiers please...thanks...

+MrDbro94 lol XD
fixed it?
I couldn't hear anything because my subwoofer was being fixed while this video was going!
Lmaaaaao

his voice wasnt thaaaaaat deep
You’re not suppose to hear voices through your subwoofer. If you do then your crossover is bad
Hey mam Thanx fer the info on the fluctuation on the spider ... That's a nice little trick if your ever buyin a used sub .... Later
hey
first of all great tutorial but I wanted to ask you some questions if u can answer them :D

Hey I got 2 kicker compR subs in a custom ported box there dual 4ohm I've had them maybe 3 weeks one of them when I push it in has a little scratchy sound but it's only when I push it in in a certain spot is it . But it still hits really hard and it not stiff or anything is it blown?
Also I have been considering ditching the P1's and getting a pair of 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch P3's. Should I just pawn the P1's and go with the P3's? Send me a message in my inbox. Thank you.
they are 600 rms, and the hifonics amp, at 2 ohms is getting about 900 watss rms, and the bass is all the way and negative 8! there wired together at 2 ohms, so i dont see any problems, you know what imean? but thanks for the reply, and ill check it out, i am already subscribed too :)
if u need to check the sub and dont want to take it out just take a double a battery and make contact on the pos and neg, if the subs work they will make a small bass note. good if u dont have a volt meter and need a quick trouble shoot if u arnt getting power from amp.
also, you can just connect a 9V battery to the + and -. if it works, the subwoofer will make a little "pop", and move a little bit :-)
where can i buy that machine that tell u ur ohms?
i got a blaupunkt pro comp driver but it doesn't show the watts, ohms, how can i find that out
What does it mean when your subwoofers are WAY quieter than normal at a certain volume than usual. tonight they were playing perfect then all of a sudden they were way quieter. i have L7s and they are dual 2 ohm voice coil.
hello I just got my subwoofers for 2 days ago it started smoking a little bit but it still play what do you think is wrong
you are pushing them to hard keep the sound half way there like a new pair of shoes y ou have to break them in before you can run
Great video thanks ! Quick question if I may. I have a powered sub box (fosgate p300-12). My leads are burnt and one split, and the spiderweb thing is crispy and burnt. I want to replace the subwoofer but have no way of knowing how many ohms it is ? How can I find out ?
Also on speaker subwoofer on a Bluetooth speaker?
can you fix a sub that wont push down?
I have a kicker L7 12 in. rated at 750 rms and have a kicker zx750.1 amp powering it. i usually play my music with the bass control know on full bass and play it loud but not so loud that my sub distorts. yet when i play certain songs on a low volume (2 or 3 when i usually play at 16), i hear a buzzing noise coming from the sub. I think it's just bc the bass isn't loud at that volume but im worried that something might be wrong with my sub. ive only had it for 6 months. any advice? thanks
1. singel 10" but the amp provides power for 5 satellite speakers as well
2. ported
3. dunno its a tv/computer system and u cant change
4. I have all settings at default
but i think the amp is damaged in some way
A Volt Meter is going to test the DC resistance. Speakers specs are AC. If you cheek with an Impedance Meter you will get 4 Ohms at 1000 hrz
Rock on man.
can you change the front part of the sub? like the silver part on that sub?
whats wrong with kicker?
you hooked the postive lead into the negative and negative into the positive when you hooked it up to DMM btw
Mine stayed popped out pushed it back in then no noise guess it popped right ?
To the point and very easy to understand great videos
my subs press in easy but take a sec to come out but it comes out nice and easy but a little slow, is that bad?
hey, i have a question, i have 2 RE se subs, and the voice coils get hot., and the cone gets hot, but i tested them and they read a steady 1.8 ohm, and its a dual 2 ohm sub, is it bad? or should i not worry about it?
What would cause subs cutting out... Happens after about an hour of play "not too hard @50-75% volume. Amps not even warm, subs not over heating & connections seemed to be fine? Any ideas
well my memphis 12 got locked up to where i couldnt push it in; it was the magenet; all i had to do was turn it a little bit and it works now :)
okay how low would it be with a 1.6 ft cubic ft box for each sub? and would i here port noise if i make a 12 inch port?
Im thinking something went wrong with my wiring then or unless my turn knob is bad cause my 12s arent kicking anymore but they also aren't blown either given what this guy stated.
good choice in subs for a demo! I've got a 10" kicker solobaric L5 and a kicker L5 custom myself
Kickers suck
Can a blown speaker cause my amp to go in protective mode
So what about the ones with thick rubber surround?
i had a 18" acendant audio.. i tried to push down on it.. it wouldnt budge.. and it was NEW!!!
