Is the flux capacitor plugged in correctly?

hahaha... what sub and what power you running? Take the sub out of the box and smell the coil...lemme know what you find. Sounds like youve either fried an amp or burnt a coil, but sniff around and see if you can pinpoint it champ.

Yep. One burning coil on it's way to destruction. Man those flux capacitors are hard to plug in. Does the red wire send you back to the past or does the black wire send you to the future? Also make sure you have the polarity set the right way. + & - speaker to + & - amp Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
