Question:
I have a 12 " L7 in my car and i think it might be blown. I was listening to a song with really loud bass and i could smell something burning.. so i stopped listening to that song, but a couple days later the bass started sounding like crap. My amp is a 350W Class D Mono MTX Amp. Is this amp even strong enough to blow my sub? Does anyone know whats wrong and if it can be fixed?
Answers:
What Kind of Amp for a 15'' MTX 9500?
I don't know, does it have a wry silly smile on its face...?Seriously, When you "burn" a voice coil it usually leads to a short, which can then get to your amp (you will hit thermal cut off all the time). No sound comes out with a short (the speaker is actually a motor; if there is a short, it doesn't "spin" just like a fan or other motor driven appliance).
If the bass sounds like "crap", you may be "clipping", which is where part of the amp is gone, and you cannot generate the peak voltage required to drive higher levels of sound. There is a simple test for this - play some music and turn the volume down low. If the bass sounds pretty good, start slowly cranking her up. If you get to mid-volume point where things start to sound "distorted" or "fuzzy" (like Ted Nugent is playing your subwoofer), then you have to replace your amp.
Is a Line Level Converter and an L-Pad the same thing?
Sometimes, freakish wiring shorts can be just right that you will get a distorted output on a speaker.
car stereo malfunction....PLease Help!!?
i say that you check your amp frist before replacing the sub!my car subwoofer stopped working...why?
No...you mostly likely did not blow the sub.Check your amp first....you may have done damage there.
You most likely are underpowering the sub (which is just as dangerous as overpowering).That is where most car systems get their damage.
