I installed my 18" kicker impulse with matching amp (kick impulse amp)... I installed it correctly and it worked fine for a month... but just the other day, I was listening to it, it sounded fine... I turned off the car... and later that day, when I turned my car back on, the sub wouldn't work. No sound comes out of it unless I turn the volume WAY up and turn the sub volume on max. What happens then is it feels like there's not enough power and it sounds like ****... I've been reading and it might be a voice coil... but i dont think i blew the speaker entirely.
I checked the fuses, both of the metal resistors seem to be intact and all the connections seem to be solid. I'm puzzled. |

im sure an 18 inch sub doesnt sound great, it is simply to big to h ave tight clean bass. 8,10, or 12 are the only sizes that u will get great sounding bass out of, 12 is even pushing it
