SO i was in my truck today and hear my sub acting funny so i lift my seat and my Kicker L7 is falling apart from the seams.. is this normal or just a peace of ***** sub, just had them installed on july 6.. What should i do im so P!$$ed.

 

I've had L7's in every truck ive owned and they havent caused me any problems. what kind of setup are you running? i.e amp, box, all that jazz. Sorry that they fell apart on you man

 

I have 2 10s and a 1600 watt hifonics amp at 2 ohms which would be 550watts to each. the rms is 600 with peak of 1200. i have a 1 farid cap. i crank it but i they told me there should be no problem. idk

 

what do you mean "fallin apart at the seems" , do you meen the cone/surround are seperating?

 

No sub should be falling apart after a little over a month of use, not even a damn Pyle.

I too am wondering what you mean by "at the seams"

What do you have cranked also?? The volume? The gains? Both? How high?

 

Bartak is right, make sure your gains are set right. if you have your HU volume cranked, the HU bass all the way up, your gains maxed out and your amps bass boost on, it can dish out a lot more max power then its rated at, especially with a capacitor.

also you've mentioned before that your subs are firing upwards. are they hitting your seat bottom?? if you have them cranked and the cone is bashing the seat, i can understand how the seams are separating. if you've ever felt what the bottom of the seat is like, its kinda soft towards the end but towards the back theres a fat metal bar. if the sub is hitting that, it will cuase problems.

 

It mite also be that your box is too small and there isnt enough airspace. I was told you couldnt fit two tens solobarics under the seat that there isnt enough airspace. You could only do that by cutting your cab and bed with them doing a box into the bed sorta thing. I had to get a seat lift to just install one ten solobaric. honestly i dont know though...

 

Its seperated where the cone meets the outer lip if that makes sence. i take pics to post

 

sounds like the glue failed. with subs all the softparts are glued together. it sounds like the cone sperated from the surround.... take it back it'll be covered under warranty if you bought it from an authorized kicker dealer.

 

Couldve been overheated, but Id guess a bad glue job at the plant.

 

Not All subs..

heres a few pics not to great. the sound got worse so i just muted the subs

 

ya man they are bashing your seat bottom. look at the indentations on the bottom of the folded up seat. thats not good.

it also looks like something may have hit it. i dunno beats me.

 

well its on 3 sides on the sub and the other one seems fine, theres 2ins in between the box and the seat though

 

Either take it back where you got it from and tell them whats up, or else get some superglue and fix it assuming nothing else is messed up from it. If its unglued on 3 sides you could have issues with the VC being out of alignment though...
