Sub Popping

[3340TH]

Hi, ive just recently put my subs back in my skyline after having them out for about 4 months. I started pulling one box apart as im gonna make new ones, but thought i have no time to start it yet, so ive just put them back in for the time being.

The one i pulled apart (put back together) is working fine, the other, i just had sitting on the concrete in its box; starts popping when i put any decent bass behind it....is there something in the head unit i should be looking at or the amplifier, or is my sub stuffed....i didn't really want to replace it as they are both Alpine R (400 a piece), and like anything that comes in a pair if you replace one you should do the other aswell.

Does anyone repair, or are they a throw away item.

Cheers.

swap the non-popping with the popping and retest.

Could be amp chsnnel stuffed, causing pure voltage, could be voicecoil on sub stuffed, needing new/repaired sub.

unless it's a few grand sub, generally there isn't a worth of repairing them.

Pulled out my boot this arve, as my battery went dead, when i had a look at the amplifier, one of the rca'shad fallen out. It has two going from the dvd box under my seat to the back then its got a splitter thing that changes it to four rca's one had fallen out so i guess that was the problem but i ran outta light b4 i could even get the battery in. Im hoping this was the problem...if it is fixed would it have caused much permanent damage? had it down low maybe for an hour.
