Did I blow my amp?
Did I blow my amp? Yesterday my system was sound fine it was hitting hard on my way to work and my lunch break. But when I was leaving work I had no bass at all. I have 2 1100W 10'' sonys hooked up to a 4X3 channel 600W sony amp The speakers were wired up to the rear input with nothing happening I swiched it to the front input on the amp nothing still. But I pu them back on the rear with nothing but it hit just one bass note through the subs then went dead again. Is it blown? BTW I just found out that the person who wired it up never put a fuse for the amp!!! 
If it matters i just put in a new battery and an alternater. This is in a third gen

Check your fuses. Your amp always needs a fuse. It would sound awful if you blew a channel on the amp. You can take it to your local electronics store and they will use volt-ohm meter that will determine if the amp is blown or not. But I would check all connections, fuses, and check and see if the power light to the amp is on. If none of this works, have someone at a local electronics store take a look.
It is quite possible that your subs voice coil is blown...If your amp is any good then it has protection and it will cut the power if you have a blown voice coil. If your amp doesn't have protection then it will blow fuses to protect itself. Get a amp that you know works and hook it up and if it still does it then you know it is one of the subs.

Verdad Gallardo I seriously doubt it is the amp, I've had a similiar situation happen to me personally twice both times it was a bad sub. The first time i assumed it was the amp and bought a new one, turned out i wasted about 300$.
If you turn it off and turn it back on and the sub will hit one or two notes then cut off then i am 95% sure its one of your subs. Also look at your amp for the protection light if it flashes when the sub cuts off.

Thats what I figured the problem was, at least you did the smart thing and asked before assuming it was the amp....Use this as an oppotunity to upgrade
