the sub is 500w and the amp is 380w.

they are a few years old tho as there where my bro's before they where mine! so i serposed it could be old age!!

unscrew the sub and put it on multi-meter. measure impedance. if it shows nothing, voice-coil meltdown, if shows around 0.5 ohms under rated impedance, it's ok.

try getting it to someone to rewind the voice-coil. it costs only 10quid in zagreb, shouldnt cost more in uk
