ok, yes we see this hundreds of times, but im no noob, so we can be sure i at least kinda know what im talkin bout, so i put my subs in set the gain at 3/4 volume ya know the whole deal, bout a half hour ago they cut off, great, i check the amp and its not in protection, the trunk smells like burnt subs but the VCs dont scratch when you push em, i turned the gains up and down and still nothing, RCAs r good, ground and power r good, any other ideas?

i would test the subs... if it smells like burnt subs than assume it's the subs.. i would test em.

prolly clipped em to death

... Sony discontinued the red cones, the silver/black cones are the newer models.

Anyway, hook a multimeter up to the coils and check for resistance or continuity. If nothing shows up, the coils are fabooked.

Did you adjust the gains properly? With a Multimeter or an Oscilliscope?
