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. |

I have in my car:
-Xtant A6001 Monoblock class D amplifier -Eclipse EA 3422 4 channel amplifier -Stinger 1 farad capacitor -Two 12" Infinity Kappa Subwoofers -6.5" Infinity Kappa 3 way speakers in the rear -6.5" Infinity Kappa components in doors -Kenwood Excelon Headunit -4 gauge wiring I still get major headlight dim when the bass booms.. Why is that? I thought the capacitor was to eliminate that. Its seriously just as bad as when it was before I got the capacitor. Edit: I forgot, I have a Red Top Optima battery too.
