New member Username: HiphopanonymousPost Number: 4 Registered: 12-2003 | one of my 15's is down. i was wondering if shops fix voice coils? i'm running 2 15' he2 subs with my 800@2 punch fosgate. i wouldn't think this was too much power for these. could it have been something else? would i rather just get new subs? keep in mind that i'm a brokea$$ college student. i have no clue because this has never happened to me before. any advice would be great. |

New member Username: HiphopanonymousPost Number: 5 Registered: 12-2003 | Insufficient current? meaning wattage from my amp or the power itself? So my amp is not powerful enough? or is it because of my battery and alternator? If so, then would i rather buy a yellow top optima battery, buy another cap (I have a one farad cap already), or buy a bigger alternator? Cost efficiency should be considered. |

New member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 639 Registered: 12-2003 | what he said. insufficient current 'to' the amplifier... from the alternator, which needs to be large enough to handle the amplifiers as well as teh car's demands. cap won't help, and battery only helps if the engine is off. peace |

New member Username: GlasswolfPost Number: 649 Registered: 12-2003 | the alternators are vehicle specific, but many car makers use the same alternator casing on a lot of motors. try www.mralternator.com |

Would it be that my subs voice coils were weak? A dude at a local shop told me that he recommended me to sell my fosgates on ebay because they aren't good at playing rap and hip hop, only country and rock. I mostly listen to rap. |
