sub plays, but very quiet, without bass

I just got a pair of subs this afternoon, along with a 2ch amp. I got home, and connected one of the subs up to a factory headunit running from a motorcycle battery. That sub worked fine, had nice bass and sounded clean. I hooked up the other sub, and I hear nothing but high frequencies. I try to push on the cone, and it wont move. I pushed on the other sub and it moved just fine. What could be wrong with this sub? I can get *some* bass out of it if I push on the cone just right, but it wont play on it's own. Thanks guys, Keith

The one that won't move is probably toast.

could something be out of alignment? I can get it to work a little, it just buzzes really loudly.

i just fiddled with it some more, and it works, but it sounds like something is loose. it's rattling.

I agree, subs aren't supposed to "rattle". Its toast.Squirrel

If its too loud, then you're too old

It's baked, dude... Take it back.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I would have to agree... it's voice coil is friedThe wire I'm test'n isn't doin' what it's supposed to be doin'... I am so glad I printed that tech sheet, with the wrong info.
