Dual voice coil? Sounds like you have the + and - crossed up... Whats the specs on your speakers?

this should help
Dual Voice Coil Wiring Options

The following diagrams are the most popular wiring configurations when using Dual Voice Coil woofers. They show a typical single channel wiring scheme. Check the amplifier's owners manual for minimum impedance the amplifier will handle before hooking up the speakers. Remember: 4 ohm mono is equivalent to 2 Ohm stereo.

Lastly what settings is your amp on?

Yeah it does sound crossed. My brother gave me a sub and box and thought for sure it was bloen because it would hardly play. So once i got to lookin some of the wires where crossed up. Once fixed BOOM BOOM.

I wish I could tell you haha but I'm a noob when it comes to this shit. here's a pic of it. but it's not a new install... it's worked fine for the 8months I've had the truck.

well turn flipping speaker wires... try that.. pr PRINT the pic I posted and go validate how you have it hooked up

Sounds to me like the sub or amp is done since it just started doing this. What HU are you using? Also check your gain

using a avn6600...

ok so here's what I did...



this is how it was wired when I took it out. a wire from red/white dot to red. then another wire to black/white dot to black. looking at the diagrams, I determined that it was wired for dual 4ohm wired at 2ohm parallel... Everything seems good and connected, so I don't know what else to try.
