just wondering if anyone's oem sub went crazy on them. mines goes on and off, and recently its just been off. i had to slam it a couple times, and itll come back on, but a few mins or secs later it goes off again. ive checked the wires and everything, they still properly attatched.
anyone know whether or not i can bring it back to the dealer to see if they can fix it?
thanks
:D

If you're under warranty then just bring it back. Sounds like a short some where.

if it's still under warranty take it to the dealer. you might check to see if anything has fallen onto the sub itself...change or something?

Agreed, take it to the dealer, no sense in busting your butt trying to fix it. I'd like to see Subaru try to deny a claim on the subwoofer, unless you rewired your stereo.

"Well, you see, the timing adjustments that the engine had to make because of the cold air intake, cause a different RF signal from the ECU, frying the sub"

Also, how are you telling that it goes on and off? Just by listening and feeling the sub? I've noticed that playing burned MP3 disks (converted to audio) sometimes have strange bass levels depending how it was recorded and burned. I'd check it with a true cd first.

Hey ya Vic. My subwoofer crapped out on me too recently. Just bring it back to your dealer and get it fixed under warranty.
My prob was that the subwoofer would kinda flicker on and off a bit, then it just died after a few weeks. Turns out that I wasn't supposed to set the Bass EQ to 5 out of 5 :rolleyes: The guy at the dealership said to keep the Bass EQ at 1, maybe 2 max and to turn the volume up if I wanted more bass. My E40 just doesn't sound the same anymore :(

can vic still get the warranty even though he bought it second hand? if you can't let me know, i have an idea for ya. ; )

give me idea ed. give me idea! i need something with some sort of bass, until my friend can make me my box. pm me, or tell me at the dc meet.

damn ryan, you maxed out everything. i just put mines on 0, 0.

and im sure its not the cd, it doesnt work for radio, cd, or tape.
damn.
:D

I don't think warranty works for 2nd hand subwoofers Vic. So I guess Ed's gotta get back to you. And I miss "Rep Yo' City" at Bass +5 and volume at 12 :D Come to think of it, I'm not too surprised that mine broke now :cool:

you guys hare really pushing the subs. THEY ARE WEAK. I keep mine at bass at 0 and vol at 15 and it sounds good. Can you tell it sound badd when u turn it to 5?

i dont think i pushed it too hard. my settings are at 0, 0. well at least it was at those settings, til it died.
:D
