big problem, no sound

[iocca 0]

i have had my fi q installed in my car for a few weeks. today i was listening to it pretty loud, but nothing too crazy when all the sudden it stopped. my power light on my amp is still lit up (jl1000.1), all wires are connected. any advice or thoughts on what happened?

check all of your connections, both inside and outside the box

also, try testing the output on the amp with a known working speaker.

and if its not that? i am trying to aviod pulling the screws and messing up the box if i dont have to. ill try the working speaker tomorrow. problem is going to be finding a speaker that can handle that amp. the amp is brand new as well.

Speaker will handle that amp fine, provided it is set up properly. If it is not set up properly and the volume knob gets a little happy...then it won't handle it.

Test the resistance on the coils with a digital volt ohm meter. See what they read...

What were you settings on your amp?

one reads 1.1 the other gives an error. on my meter

Ok, now. Take the sub back out of the box if you put it back in. Take a 9 volt battery, put some speaker wire to the terminals (positive and negative) and then touch them to the little 9 volt battery. If you have it in phase and the coils are ok it will 'pop' out. Do this same thing for the other coil as well, just to make sure.

The same one that gave an error on the multimeter, correct?
