Sounds like a blown subwoofer.
Ground zero should be able to advise you on a power amp and sub.
you could possibly kill your amp. because the subs are asking for a certain amount of power and your amp cant give the power. but typically the amp will push all its power avalible to the sub and you should be fine. but for the optimum sound system the amp rms should be the same or close to the sub rms.
depends on the wiring check out Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams
You need to know how much power the sub woofers are rated to handle. Choose a power amp that can supply sufficient power.A power amp designed specifically for sub woofer use delivers all of it's power at the lower frequencies where a sub woofer operates. They may also have better cooling since they operate at higher power than full range amps.
You can, but the Sub will not put out its full sound power.
Any amp will power a 15" sub. What you need to know is what is the RMS of the 15" sub. Lets say its 200 watts RMS than you will want a max of 200 watts for your amp.
Depending on the RMS power of your sub, and size and brand of your sub, it will depend. If you have a single sub, I'd recommend a monoblock amp that puts out close to or enough to power your sub. You could also use a 2 channel bridgeable amp, as they are generally a much cheaper option. For dual subs, I'd say a bridgeable 4 channel amp, or high-output 2ch amp. To give an exact amp, I don't go past the Pioneer GM-d8500M 1200w Class-D Monoblock amp.
its a 6ohm sub in the stock location. if you are going to replace it you will need to purchase a good amp. the stock amp does not have adequate power to power any other sub. 10" Kicker comp subs make a great replacement, and get an amp that is half the RMS power input of the sub. make shure that you are reading the AMPs RMS power output.
That's where u bridge the amp to combine both channels power into one sub.
sure. Will it be loud? No. Its just not enough power to drive that sub.
Yup :)
I Have a old Pioneer VSX-5900S hooked to my old Veldyne 806 which is a 8 inch sub and it sounds amazing. If you look on the back you will find the pre amp out and power amp in for the front speakers theres also one for the center and rear speakers if you have two subs and are using it for home theater! Connect the pre amp out to the line level in on the sub and the power amp in to the line level out from the sub. Best of luck! I highly recommend a velodyne sub!!
