subwoofer that stopped working. could use some help

[koch]

My factory sub stopped working. I replaced the sub with a none good one(I think the sub was blown anyway). I removed the factory amp and checked the plug for power and ground, there was. This makes me think the amp is blown, but if someone has any other ideas I would love to hear them. :dontknow:

they had a problem with bad amps in 04-05's , probably the amp

100 bucks plus shipping and you can have my amp and subwoofer (Which are good!)...Just shoot me a PM.

Shipping is from Hawaii.

there are 2 factory amps, one on the floor and the second in you dash, check the one thats in the dash, when mine went out that was the problem

 

[koch]

were under the dash? 2 amps for 1 sub?

 

[guinnessboy]

did you replace the factory sub with a non factory sub......ive heard that it wont work if it isnt the factory sub.

 

[guinnessboy]

the sub is controlled under the center console, the other speakers are controlled with a sub behind the glove box.

 

[koch]

Yes, the sub is non factory. The rest of the radio works fine.

 

[guinnessboy]

could be the problem...i was told i couldnt change out subs because the amps and radio are all connected and a normal sub will not work with our amps because its not coded to the amp.....if anybody knows differently please let me know

 

[dajamchill]

Just had my amps replaced today. There are still honoring the factory recall. Also had to have my instrument panel replaced.

You are correct, Sir.:rock:

There was a recall, however it was very obscure and the dealerships tend to try to weasel out of having to fix it. I believe the recall was on the Amp that is in the dash, but, I could be wrong.:dontknow:

Mine makes noise when I start my truck if its cool/cold out. The sub thumps quietly for a minute or so depending on how cold outside it is. I thought it might be a ground issue, but when you hit the gas the "thump" stays the same pitch:dontknow: I'm out of my warr. now so I guess I'm screwed The noise is gone by the time I get to the dealership.

Honestly it's worth it just to replace the subwoofer and amp... for cheap you can put a subwoofer controller, new amp and drop in a new 10' sub for under $500.

I have a bunch of subs hanging around, so I think I will just buy an amp. I wont let any dealer touch my truck, I'm a mechanic and have friends that work at dealerships. I know how they treat cars. lol!

if someone has any other ideas I would love to hear them. :dontknow:

:idea:The only idea I have to to trash the whole factory system and start anew with an aftermarket one.

 

[koch]

Your right! Throw the whole system in the trash. thats the best idea, and what I think is gona happen. Thanks for everyones input tho.
