i have 2 type s 12" subs now one devoloped a crackling when in use...so i thought it mite be blown cos the other was fine, i put the other good one of a single 12" box and that was fine..now the other one has the same problem,
how can i test the subs to see if they are blown or does anyone know what it could be?
cheers..
multimeter, hmm better off usuing a resistance tester aka mega. although these cost a bit. try an audio shop, they might be able to help u out.
were the 2 original subs wired up correctly?

what if it reads nothing near the reisitance its shows like 1 im using a multimeter and ive gone through all the resistance settings their is 20M, 200k, 20k, 2000 and 200 which one should i be using? thanks
Use the 200 setting on your multimeter. You will hardly ever find a woofer that shows its true impedance. For example, a typical 4ohm coil will probably actually read about 3.2ohms.
to read ressitance (with a mega {resistance tester}), its either 1 of 2 things.
1. u wil get a value of resistance, which from memory is 2Ω, or
2. u will get infinite resistance, meaning there is no connection, hence too much resistivity.
if the sub is blown, ur most likely to get option 2. cus there is no full connection within the subwoofer.
hope i have helpd
