Hey guys, just wanted to see if any of you have encountered this problem.

Just recently my sub started to not fire intermittently. At first I thought i was just imagining it, but it become really obvious about 3 days ago.

Then yesterday my sub stopped working altogether.

I checked all the wiring/grounds & they're fine. I took the sub outta the enclosure & checked the wiring there too... everything is connected fine... but as i was handling the actually subwoofer(while the MD deck was on), when i grabbed the outta rim of the cone, the sub started working again.

I then discovered if i applied pressure to anywhere on the cone up to the outta lip of the cone it would work fine. I dont have to apply much pressure but without that it wont work at all...

What the heck is going on with it? I have no bass at all right now & i cant exactly drive while holding the sub (hahaha)... have you guys got any idea how i can fix this, or what is wrong?

Thanks a whole lot in advance for anything!

(This is my equipment BTW: http://www.motormusicinc.com/rx8.htm)
& as much as i'd like to take it back to the shop i got the work done, the last time i was there was over a year ago & the place is under new management whom i do not know.

 

well I honestly don't know.. but if I had to guess I would say that the sub is coming apart.. or coming unglued... I bet the warrenty would replace it.. go back to the shop and ask them about it....

 

check to see if the leads from where you connect to the sub are soming fraid or disconnected from the sub...

 

agree with momo. thats really all it can be. unless you wanna ride with it in your passenger seat in arms reach. lol

 

either the tinsel leads are shot, or you have a slight open in the coil, if its under warranty, take it back to the shop where you got it, if not, you need to purchase a new one

you should be fine on the warranty, diamond has a very good warranty
