What is the reason why my subs keep getting frozen.

I have gone through 2 subs a 10W6 and a 12W3. Both lost there excursion, the subs quit at low volumes.
Is there a way to fix the subs?

my amp is a JL 500/1

thanks

It's called fried voice coils. Replace or repair and then set up your system properly so it won't happen again.

i love the sound of a good cooked coil scratching down the side of the pole, not to mention the smell.

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."
