So I'm in my car listening to some music and then out of nowhere the back of the car sounds like crap. I turn down the radio and it disappears... so I think to myself, okay something's wrong with the speakers. I go into the audio controls and turn off the sub, and sure enough it went away. I blew my subwoofer.

The question is, I know it's not covered under warranty, so how much would it be to replace it? Would it be worth getting another of the same sub, or should I upgrade?

Ideas?

Thanks!

 

Try to get it replaced under warranty, don't assume they won't fix it.

 

Yah, you didnt modify it in any way. Also, if you replace it, and use the same box, try to use something with a metal cone. They sound better and are much more durable for abvious reasons. You may want to do that anyway, you wouldnt have to worry about blowing another one.

What exactly happens whena speaker is blown? Does it tare, does the coil fry????

 

And next time try not to let people "feel" your car coming down the road...

 

haha - i know i shouldn't let people feel my music... but i feel sometimes i can't quite hear it - maybe because it's always too loud? hmm, maybe my mom was right about loud music...

You're right, I didn't modify it, which would mean *I* didn't break it ....anyways I called the dealership and they want to look at it before they replace it. they think it might be some loose clips or something... i explained to the guy that i doubt it's a clip, but i'll do whatever he wants to because it sounds like they were going to replace it.

I might luck out on this one with the good ol' warranty

 

Man in a 2004? Wonder how many people have encountered this issue? I have been cranking it up for the past 5 years in my 2000TL and everything is still cool.

 

Your 2000 has a Bose sub, I assume. Contrary to popular opinion, Bose is extremely durable.

 

What's in there now?

 

Im pretty sure i blown mine too or either tore it.. Because it sound like shit its my fault but they dont know that i usto have sub all the way up and bass almost all the way up everything is equalized now but i got an appoinment thursday for the sub the rattles and the dead backlit heated seat bulb we will see what happens

 

yea i blew my sub the 2nd month...they replaced it under warranty..no questions asked...u didnt modify it so they shouldnt give u a hard time...after i blew it i decided to add the w7

 

If warrenty won't help you out, it'll only cost you about $45 to replace it.

 

Go with a freeair sub, i think kicker makes one or JL, sounds a lot better

 

i hope my shit doesnt blow. i keep everything at plus 6 and 40 volume. gotta get a sound system, its not as loud with the windows down. still great for a stock sound system, cant complain.

 

Shit,guess what guys. My sub blew yesterday. I was listening to music, then it gradually began to sound like shit. Turned off my sub and it sounded normal. this crap sux, why put such a low quality sub in our cars.

 

Blew mine a few months ago...it was fixed under warranty

 

That'll cost you 86.50 w/o warrenty, might as well go after market

You may want to get your $86.00 back cuz they fixed mine for free under warranty maybe look for a new dealer to take you car.

 

I blew mine and the second one is starting to go out what aftermarket can i replace it with that wont go bad?

 

They were other posts about replacing the woofer with a kicker free air series woofer. I have a feeling I am going to blow a second sub myself so maybe let me know what works best. Good luck.

 

After mine blew, i just went w/ after market asap! why bother getting a new weak sub bound to blow again? but i only said that if the dealer says
