Hi All,
For about 8 months now I've been running my OEM sub amp channel into a DVC sub with 4 Ohm coils in parallel for 2 Ohms.
I don't rap or dance or hip-hop at extreme levels, I like to hear the low end of instruments.
Yesterday I took a car trip and noticed the bass we like, gone.
Getting out of the car I opened the trunk and the speaker was barely moving.
I have a DP single throw switch installed to change between the OEM sub (still installed) and the sub in a box.
Neither of them has the output that was there originally.
Has anyone ever had this issue? Before I couldn't run the Sub above say 2 ticks above center hash mark, and now I can barely hear it wide open.
With out warning or abuse the sub chip/amp seems to have shit the bed.
MAYBE there is some sort of communication error between HU and AMP but I doubt it. Those chip amps will shut down if overtemp(has never happened) or if shorted (never happened) so I'm at a loss.
Next I'll try a reset of the HU.
