Stupid Monsoon Subs!! (((BLOWN)))
Stupid Monsoon Subs!! (((BLOWN))) I think my monsoon subs are blown, atleast there is no sound coming from them.
I started noticing a few weeks ago there seemed to be a huge drop in bass from the system. so i put my ear to the things, and nada!
That sucks
Car is a 2002.
Is there anything in the aftermarket category I can use to replace them?
maybe I should just add a aftermarket amp/sub
used to have a whole Alpine/JL Audio/Focal system in another vehicle, but had to sell it all. (financial deal)

The ones in the sidepanels/rearseats. I'm wondering if this is a common problem with them?.. even if you've never pushed em hard, which i havent.
the car only has 23k miles on it, so maybe they're covered by warranty still.

if you get them replaced under warranty, take them out, sell them here on tech and buy something better
You'll be much happier with an aftermarket setup, theres a good thread about subs/amps with the stock head unit.
Personally I would replace it, things are just much clearer with aftermarket

These here are the best replacements your gonna find http://edesignaudio.com/product.php?...pid=32&cur=USD but you'll have to cut the metal behind the magnets.
You know, there should be a sticky on replacement subs for factory subs, or atleast those ED speakers

I have 2 of those brand new I'll sell $75.00 for both shipped. The reason I am getting rid of them is because they are not a direct replacement. They don't work with our setups. Why would they do a sticky on that?

First of all Wikd, please allow me to be the first to welcome you to the blown subs club! 
The site Josh posted a link to is selling the for $50+ shipping. You might want to drop the shipping charge. 
Josh, the ohm rating of the factory subs are 2 ohms, whereas nearly all aftermarket speakers will be at 4 ohms.
Edit: I found something for ya.
Well, this isn' t sub specific, but I believe it does have a few recommendations for subs somewhere if memory serves.

I'd thought the EU-600 ($55) would have been better. I didn't think the Monsoon amp could actually put out that much power. Especially at 4 ohm.
It makes sense the 700's wouldn't work, given their freq response is so low. As the stocks seem to be more of a midrange speaker than anything resembling a subwoofer.
Anyone actually know what the nominal power the stock amp puts out to these speakers? At a total of 500 Watts max, It has to be considerably less than 100 watts per channel.
Luckily, my sail speakers are still good for the moment. I'm waiting on my SPS-170A's to replace the door speakers.
