Anyone know where i could get my sub repaired?

[Vicious-monkey]

ok well i'm officially gutted.
i thought the reason that my amp was going into safe mode was because of a bad earth (this was the reason last time) but after re-wiring the whole system today i have discovered that my JL W6v2 has blown!
i don't know how it happened as i haven't changed the amp settings since i got it and it's never had any trouble before!
so does anyone know of a good company online who would repair it for me?

or if not, can anyone suggest another sub for me?
my amp is a pg xenon 600.1 so it would need to be a sub that could be sufficiently powered by it!

I can't live without my w6!

Bit dramatic monk......... air is more important, certainly?
Bad news on the sub though. I have sent you a link to the distributor via PM.

yeah say i wanted to buy a new sub that was around the same sort of quality as the JL and i had a budget of about £150......... it's not gonna happen is it?

 

[Cartunes]

nope...
try an spl dynamics one from CAD, awesome value for money

i'm looking on CAD now! how much are they? that link was just a picture!

Im gutted too .

 

[Lyons]

If you're budgets £150, id look on Talk Audio and wait for another 12w6v2, or a Diamond of some sort.

i'm even more gutted now! i went up to islandmagee tonight to buy two rockford fosgate's to do me until i could afford to fix or replace the JL and when i got back i hooked one of them up and turned the amp down to about half gain. it sounded fine and i tested it at high volume and it was still fine so i turned it down another bit just to be sure. then on the way home it blew for no reason!
so now i've lost two subs this week.

 

[ricky_t]

surley it must be an amp problem of some sort then?

 

[Vicious-monkey]

i dunno, the amp seems fine!
i think it was just too powerful for the RF sub and i don't know why the JL blew!

 

[Chris Mac]

youve something badly wrong somewhere jonto

get ollie to have a look at it or something, no way your amp should blow 3 subs

unless your trying to turn the corsa into a convertable, without using tools

 

[Cartunes]

sounds like the amp is pounding out some pure DC...... that's a sub-killer!

i phoned AE electronics like you suggested mate. they said that i should turn the gain almost right down and the volume on the HU almost all the way down and run a small speaker (a comp or old standard door speaker) for an hour or so and if it blows then i have a problem!

 

[Cartunes]

i have a wee speaker here you can test it with.......... come on over this afternoon if you want it.

 

[Vicious-monkey]

thats a very generous offer mate but i managed to get the lend of one of reido the speedo's standard door speakers from his Peugeot 30Shed...

if you can get a scope on it to see what the amps doing it would certainly explain things.

 

[Vicious-monkey]

yeah sadly i don't know anyone who has a scope. i'm just gonna hook up the other RF and Cartunes has very kindly agreed to help me set up the amp so that it won't blow it!
that way if the amp does blow the sub then i'll know the amp is fooked!
i'll probs get it checked out properly when i get the cash together for my w7

 

[-Pete-]

i have a scope

 

[Cartunes]

ooooooooooooh, get you! lol

[joseph c]

how much would you charge to scope a system pete?

 

[-Pete-]

i wouldnt think much at all, where are you located?

 

[Vicious-monkey]

i'd be willing to pay if you could scope mine?

 

[OLLIeCrX]

i`d say poor setup and distortion is probably whats melting your subs.

as it takes some serious going to do damage to a JL audio sub, and a properly setup system can kick with the best of them, but give it some distortion via some poor setup and its good night vienna

 

[-Pete-]

exactly!
