I think I may have blown my non-ML sub, but is there any way to test this without taking the rear seats and deck out?

I've just noticed that there isn't much bass coming from the rear of the car, and most of the low end seems to be coming from the in-door speakers. Getting outside the car and listening through the trunk it seems quiet too.

I've got the bass all the way up, and it sounds "normal" whereas before +5 bass would be pretty overpowering.

It isn't buzzing or anything, just seems like less bass.

If it is the sub, where's the cheapest place to get a drop-in replacement?

Blown Sub = Raspy / Crackling

Maybe faulty wiring or something is loose?

mine isn't blown but curious if there's any aftermarket drop-in replacements that will offer a improvement over the stock subs output, ie something with a high sensitivity to make use of the stock amp

just invest in a sub/amp/box set up for your trunk, you wont regret it, doing the replacement route is always just a 'band aid' approach~

I recently had the latest recall done, the one for the fuel leak. Could those guys have disconnected or knocked something loose?

Sounds like it. A "blown" speaker will still output sound, albeit distorted. The amp may not be getting power, or have overheated. If service was recently done, I would check the wiring to the amp and the speaker terminals first.

Hey Gary, I'll sell you my JL Audio 50/1 amp for a good deal! Check the audio classifieds.

Ya they might have done something to the wiring. Idunno, you would have to check a lot of wires to figure it out though haha.

Definitely not blown though.
