SUB STOPPED WORKING!!!, AGAIN!!! Options

[acenova]

Alright, I'm irritated. This is the second sub I've gone through, the exact same kind as my last one to. I was just driving down the road listening to Lloyd Banks-on Fire and all of a sudden the base dissapears. Now, when I stopped the car, I checked the amp, and the amp was still on so obviously my sub blew or over heated. I highly doubt the sub blew because that sub can take quite a beating and is pretty Powerful. It's a MTX Thunder 8000 12". IF someone knows more about it and disagrees, please lemme know so I can beat someone up. But seriously, I think it's underpowered, making it over heat but I'm not sure because the amp is pretty powerful as well and should be able to power it just fine. Do you guys know if high heat, like outside temperature, can possibly mess up the sub? Personally I'd think that any heat would affect the amp before the sub but I could be wrong. My amp is fine, but my sub is messed, hopefully you guys can help me out w/ this one because this is the second one I've gone through.

Sorry, I've missed a lot of stuff. As far as the amp going into safe mode, that could be possible because I had two of the exact same sub because I was gonna run both, but then decided to just run one and keep the other as back up. Well, this exact same thing happened with the original and so I used the back up and now the back up just stopped working and so now I am bemused as to whether or not I have two bad subs, or what. I thought my amp may be overheating but it's working fine is the wierd thing. I made sure it was turning on and everything. I still need to take a look at the speaker wires, but I'm sure I put those in really tight and made sure they wouldn't come loose, but you never know. I'll try taking the subs to a car audio place and have them tested. Irritated as all hell though, and my damn carpet won't stay put no matter what I do, it always eventually comes up and slides my sub around. Subs not bolted, but the carpet has some interesting set up I made to try and keep it (which obviously isn't working). Sorry, had to vent a bit. But yea, VangSTa, if you could figure out what he did, that would be awesome man, see if it works for me. As far as the ground goes, that things in real well. I'll go back through and double check when I get off work and get back to the topic.
