I have 2 12" subs 4ohm dual voice coils. when i hook the subs up one plays fine the other makes a noise but no sound it sounds like distortion but thats all that comes out. when I used the dmm on the one that works fine the reading wasa 4 on both coils, on the other one one coil reads 4 and the other reads 1. is this repairable or should i just trow it away.

If the trunk dont rattle then its not loud.
If it's to loud then you're to old.

Seriously? Sell them on FleaBay (with full disclosure that one of them seems to have a blown voice coil.)
