hey i blew my sub about a month ago and i need help finding somewhere to get it repaired, does anyone one no where i can get this done around melbourne? thanks

usually not much point in getting a sub repaired is there? most of the time they burn voice coils which is irrepairable damage isnt it? it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one, what subwoofer is it and what size??

I wouldn't be worth it, repaired subs have more troubles than their worth. If you can mention what your amp is and we could recommend a good sub for ya. And what sub did you have?

And what sub did you have? sorry to hijack the thread but could u recommend me a sub for a 1000 watt 2 channel ken-wood amp? p.m me if possible not on here much

Seriously I don't know much about kenwood. When I buy a sub I make sure to buy the same brand because they make subs to suit amps. For instance each sub has a different frequency, ohm, resistance rating. Going back about 12 years now when I first brought my VL, I had I kicker amp, I think it was a 654.4. I ran that Parallel and hooked that up to some pioneer subs. I brought the pioneer subs because they looked cool with the mesh cone look. Anyway after about 3 months use the amp would allways go into protection mode and turn off. The reason it was doing this because the sub placing more load into the amp because of the less resistance it had. And after that the amp wouldn't work, I'd blown up the protection mode and It was going to cost more to fix the amp than what I brought it for. So I have this saying, please match sub brands to amp brands. Also having a very large wattage sub matched up to a small wattage amp will also place the amp under allot of load. Therefore triggering the protection mode and burning out the amp. Anyway hope this helps.

Only worth gettin subs repaired if they are higher up models, And yes you can get subs reconed which involes a new coil..

Once a subs gone, its gone... If its on the way out with cracks/splits around the surround you can get more life out of it by patching it up with Black Silastic. (aka gasket goo). Regular silicone is no good... As helpful as these threads are, dude if you want to know about car audio stuff, go to your local car audio shop and they will look after you.
