i tested it on my buddies hifonics 1600 and it hit louder then two type r's in bassworx box
im thinking of getting the same amp the sub is has dual 4ohm coils so the amp was under a 2 ohm load

big sound

today i was driving to work and was playing my sub, all of the sudden i hear a weird flapping noise and no bass, then my amp turns off completly. i get to work, and see that the inline fuse is blown. then i open my trunk and find this
(crappy cell phone pictures)

the amp i have is a clarion DPX11500
Clarion U.S.A. | DPX11500
and i set the gain using a multymeter

the coil seems fine, and sub still seems to move ok but no sound comes out of it. the multymeter reads exactly 4 ohms on each coil.


so what do you guys think i could use to repair it.the material that couvers the fiberglass is a really dense foam so i think some glues could eat through it.

or maybe i could get a recone to fit in there because i dont think clarion makes recones for their subs

just glue that back on and your good to go .

Get some automotive "GOOP" from Canadian tire. Run a continuous bead around the edge of the surround and just pop the dustcap back on. I had exactly the same problem but it never stopped working and still sounded awesome. The tech from Clarion told me to use this stuff. HOw big is the box you made? It looks a little big for one of those subs. Even ported you only need 1cu' after displacements.

the box is 2 cubic feet, ill try using the goop on the dust cap.but i was looking at the sub and i noticed that the spider came off as well, and the tinsel leads look like the were starting to tear. i dont know if the goop is going to work on it, im going to order some speaker glue and try that.
thank for your help

Well I think from here I can explain exactly what happened. That box is way too big for one of those subs. It was unloading and tore itself apart. I have had two of those exact subs in a 2cu' ported box for over a year getting 2k and pushed every day with no trouble. Here is the box they are in....

do you remember the specs on that box?

what king of glue can i use to glue the spyder to the basket? will the 2 part apoxy work? is there anything i can buy at a local store that will hold up
