HELP.....I blew the subs in my truck. I have a quad cab, and the subs go underneath the backseat. Why is that I have already gone through 2 sets of subs. I used to own a car before I bought my truck so I had 12's in the car. When I got the truck I decided to put the subs in the truck, but i blew the speakers the first day that i had them installed. I went to Circuit City and had a perfesssional install. HELP, i dont want to waste money on a third set of subs....

When I had the subs in the car they would make everything rattle. The amp is powerful and the gain is on low....the subs are expensive and i was told they could take some pounding...I had the subs in the car for about 6 months and they were the ****.....but know i dont know y i blew them and another set of subs....

 

I'll tell you your problem.....SONY!

I'm not bashing you, but my first set of subs were Sony's and I swore I would never purchase them again!

 

yeah, i fired two sets of sony 10"'s a few years ago. Just from moving em too fast. Go with a set of JL Audio, Eclipse, or Alpine subs.

 

Do you not have warranty on them? Anyway, you need the right amp/sub configuration for a stable system. I had Rockford fosgates in my old car for 4 years and never blew.....and I had it cranked most of the time. Anyway, I really haven't heard great stories about sony systems.....check out rockford fosgate or alpine

 

I've heard too many horror stories from "professional" installs at circuit city. Do yourself and favor and find a local shop or a friend who knows what they are doing. I'm not saying everyone that works at Circuit City doesn't know what they are doing. If you have blown two sets of subs, you are either overpowering them, or something is not hooked up right. Any professional should know what your amp and subs are capable of. You can also learn alot from different forums online.

 

Yea get a quality pair of subs. Mine have never blown and have had them for awhile.

 

What is the wattage of your speakers, and you amp?

 

Yeah, what is the output of your amp? and the power rating on your subs.

It sounds to me like you have too much juice going to them or have something bridged that shouldnt be. bad ground maybe?

 

buy some different subs...never heard any good stories about Sony subs...i've had Rockford, JL, Eclipse, and DD (Digital Design) and never blew any of em....hell, powered one JL12W0 with a 1600W class D amp and it never blew lol...and yeah, might want to have someone else look at your install and make sure it's not screwed up

 

Alphasonic has been good to me.
