Hello folks:

This is probably a dumb question (actually more of a rant now that I think of it), but here goes... I recently installed an amp and new component set in my C6 doors. Have about 10-20 hours on the setup, and suddenly the left woofer cuts out while out for a drive. Got a little static sound then nothing. I'm thinking, crap, must be a connector came loose or something. I pull the door panel and everything looks fine. Do a little troubleshooting (probably bass-ackwards): swap the left/right channels on the amp (by reversing the rca connectors) - still nothing on the left; swap the crossovers - crossovers are fine; bypass the wiring - wiring is fine.

I pull the speaker and try to pop it with a battery - nothing. I try hooking the speaker up to my home stereo - nothing. I check the terminals with a multimeter - get the same reading as when I just touch the probes together.

Is this a common problem? I'm thinking maybe the car environment is just tough on speakers. But what a pisser - now I have to send the thing back to the manufacturer and wait. I was lovin' my tunes.

Cheers,
Dave

just an update...

So here we are a month later. I spoke with the mfg rep and they eventually sent me a replacement. He said the speaker had a burned voice coil. Installed the replacement this weekend and took it for a nice test drive. Great to have tunes again!

The only thing is that I dread it happening again! I hope it wasn't my fault. Can't think of anything in the install that would cause that to happen.

Good to hear you got it working. If it happens again, don't wait another month..get another speaker
