help with sub
My sub only works when i push the actual speaker in and then it will start playing and then turn off a sec or two after I let go. I checked the wires from the sub to the box and the box to the amp. My question is that it has been really cold here for like a week or so. Could it be possibly the frigid temps (close to zero)? Any imput would be appreciated. I opened the sub and the actual speaker was frozen and had some condensation on it. Any ideas?

like i put pressure on the speaker itself. It seems like I have to push the speaker and keep pressure on it for a connection to be made. Almost like poking the pilsbury dough boy and keeping your finger there...thanks for the help

ouch.
how old is the speaker? w/in warranty still?
you might need to consider that a coil lead or something internally might be broken.
you mentioned inspecting the sub out of the box -- can you readily inspect the sub itself? and perhaps shoot some pictures? i'm specifically concerned w/ the tinsel leads going from the connectors to the voice coil.

Without pressing the cone, get a voltmeter and check for continuity. You set the voltmeter to ohms and check that you read something. If the needle stays at infinity, the voice coil is open.
