Hey Guys, recently I made a new addition to my 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS.
I added a Kicker Amp and a kicker sub.
Everything was working perfect for well over 2 months till one day when i'm scrooling my music and accidently i switch it into the radio. and it was in a rap station. so you can imagine, my subwoofer almost at its peak power, than a strong low frequency sound comes on. as soon as I could feel it, I turned the radio off. Oh I forgot to mention that the radio is Factory Stock. Not RF or anything.
Anyways, I turn the radio back on and it all seems fine, but as soon I realize that the sub is not giving me the same feel as it did before. soon I realize that it is not the amp, or sub, but the sound in the car was lower than usual. At its max 49 I can maintain a conversation with a friend right next to me. (something that would never happen on a regular basis as the treble would be distorted at that volume). It is a Mono amp.Being that it only hooks up from radio to amp. not the speakers.

Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Thanks

depending on how the speakers themselves were connected on the back check if one speaker got disconnected from the massive vibrations.(i.e. the connection from the speaker voice coil to the connector on the inside of the enclosure itself.) if its not that, then ask a friend with a similar wattage amp to hook up your speakers to. if they work fine, then your amp may have blown a circuit to one of its internal coils, or its a 2-4 channel amp and a fuse for one of your channels blew.

if the speakers work the same and the speakers are connected correctly from within the speaker enclosure then the voice coil connection might be hanging on by a thread. (i.e. the tiny wire that runs from the back of the voice coil to the inner most part of the speaker cone. if it is non of the above then your RCA jacks could be messed up on your stereo. or the RCA jacks on your amp could be loose. also check your inline fuse in your power wire. it may have arced and caused damage to your connection for your 12 volt power.

just like if you use a bad connection from your starter to your battery it will not run your starter fast enough to start your car. if you use a bad connection from your battery to your amp it will not run your amp correctly to push loud decibels. if its none of these, and your radio volume controls are adjusted correctly, i.e. treble, bass, bass boost, fade, balance, Hz, and MHz ect. then you are screwed and you need a whole new system from stereo to amp and speakers.

your wlecome!!!

If your sub is in your trunk and your rear speakers fire in your trunk also, then the sub could have put too much air displacement on the rear speakers and blown them to nothing.

Make sure you have sound coming out of those speakers if that is your case.
