THIS MORNING MY SUB WAS MAKING A CRACKLING STATIC NOISE, I TAPPED IT A COUPLE TIMES AND MOVED THE WIRES BEHIND THE WOOFER AND I NOTICED IT STOPPED WORKING, I TOOK THE BOX APART AND CHECKED ALL WIRES AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND LIKE NEW :dontknow: TRUCK HAS 22K MILES I ALSO CHECKED THE WIRES BEHIND THE STEREO EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM?
 
I have an 04 and my OEM 500 watt infinity stereo quit after about 5 years and 30,000 miles! Can you say "JUNK" ! I figure it is the amp in the dash that is next to impossible to remove that died!
 
I just noticed my sub is not working. I rarely have the radio on. Just turned 45000. The sub amp is under the front seat. I have not checked resistance on it yet.

YA LUCKILY IT IS JUST MY SUB, SO IF IT IS THE AMP ITS EASY TO SWAP OUT, IM GONNA TRY A NEW WOOFER THEN MOVE TO AMP, IT WAS AN UPGRADE I WANTED TO DO, JUST NOT RIGHT NOW :(
 
Mine has been doing this as well, I believe it was the amp and my sub is blown anyway so I'll be replacing it one day. Mine started about a month ago 85k.
 
Sounds like we should issue our own recall on these sub-woofers and amps..;)
 
Lol mine actully quit working about 3 weeks ago. But i also got 110k miles on my truck so maybe its time to fix it one day.
 
Just changed my amp about a month ago

The factory box doesn't look that deep. Was curious how deep of a sub we can use?

THE BOX IS DEEP ENOUGH FOR ANY DECENT 10" WOOFER, THE I.D. OF THE RING OF THE SPEAKER BOX IS A LITTLE TO SMALL FOR THE KICKER WOOFER CHASSIS, I HAD TO TRIM ABOUT A 1/4" OFF THE RING FOR MY SPEAKER TO SIT FLUSH ON THE RING HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO, I JUST USED A DREMEL WITH A CUT OFF WHEEL , IT TOOK ABOUT A MINUTE VERY SIMPLE ANOTHER THING WAS THE BOLT PATTERN OF THE WOOFER IS DIFFERENT SO YOU HAVE TO DRILL NEW HOLES AND YOU WILL NEED NEW HARDWARE, I WAS CONTEMPLATING JUST BUYING ANOTHER BOX FOR IT INSTEAD OF TRIMING IT BUT I COULDNT FIND A GOOD ONE

No issues with mine yet, but I've heard a lot of stories. Have a W3 on standby. Just waiting for the day.
