the braded wire from my subs terminal to the voice coil broke can i just solder it back together? what might have caused this?

yes you can solder the "tinsel leads" and usually its caused by the woofer exceding its xmax.

[tx_vw_bug_man]

is there a way to prevent this from happening again? limiting the xmax?

to home depot i go to get an iron

turn down your gain.

what were you doing when the sub did this? were you playing it at high volumes? playing test tones? etc...maybe your box is a tad too big.

[tx_vw_bug_man]

the speaker wants 3 cuft fopr sealed so its actually on the small side

i was jammin out just left a bad day at work but it wasint louder than i normally jam 22 of 50 on my deck volume the speaker is supposed to peak at 1500 my cheap ass amp i know cant even hit the 750 rms the speaker wants but i was jammin out and i got a phone call and turned my deck off to talk on the phone then i turned it back on and there was no sub

i was listening to fat pat a lil bump but not crazy

thanks

Jammin at 22 of 50? Your gain might be a little high.

Don't pay attention to peak. Those numbers suck. What is the speakers RMS rating?

[tx_vw_bug_man]

750 rms

thanks
