Default ML Subwoofer Problems

I have all stock audio, all though I've been wanting to change it... now my subwoofer suddenly stopped hitting, never went through any distortion, and now there is no response from it, I am guess it might be the ML amp. Any ideas? Fixes? Cost to replace stock? Options to replace with aftermarket (probably cheaper lol)?

Thanks guys,
Jace

The stock ML sub is terrible for its price.
I'd recommend going for a secondary amp (since you won't find any alternative 8" 16 ohm subs) and a better 8" sub (many members of this forum are praising the Image Dynamics 8", I personally have the Pioneer 8" shallow mount and I'm happy with it).

Refer to ZGone's write up and decide whether or not you'd want to DIY to save a few hundred bucks:

Default ML Components

I am having my entire radio, speaker & amplifier system replaced. Some of the leftover componets from my 2002 SC 420 are the ML amplifier, the navigation system and the radio with cover door (light blond bird's eye maple). Are you interested in any of these components?

I'm thinking it's the amp that needs replaced...

If the sub is the only thing that isn't working,
you won't need a new amp.
