one day my Memphis started making a scratchy/ buzzing noise so i took it out and brought it in the house. Once i took it out of the box smoke just rolled out of the box so i took the magnet off of it and noticed the voice coil looked like it had stretched, You can see it in the pictures. However i am not even sure if that is the problem or not. Anyone know if it is fixable?? or what could have caused it? i have it in a sealed 2.2 cu ft box and wired it down to 2 ohms. It is 800 watts rms and i have it hooked up to a jl G1700 amp that is rated at 700 watts rms.

 

You overheated the coil, cooked the insulation, causing the smoke, and deformed the former, causing the scratching.

is it worth fixing or should i just get a new sub?
