How does it fit with the tower folded down? Problem I had with my speakers is I have to loosen the driver side to be able to turn it to not rest on the steering wheel. Trying to avoid having to disconnect/tweak multiple things when tucking the boat into the garage.
Now this I could see being a problem with where I have it mounted. I don't fold the tower down but once a year. It will probably hit the steering wheel for sure. You'd have to mount it elsewhere so it doesn't if you fold every time
I left my plug out for about a half hour on my first trip on the water, right after picking it up from the dealer. When I finally figured out why the bilge pump was running so much I jumped right in to plug it. My wife immediately went from scared that I fell in to pissed that I tried to sink our new boat. Luckily I don’t have two plugs or I might have succeeded.
It really sucked. First time I've ever done that. I've been boating a long time. Needless to say.... I need a few beers after that for sure
. Took it out today, and tested a garage sub. Amp works, and wiring works. 12"wetsounds sub..... Nothing. Damn. Nothing visibly wrong or blown. No loose wires. Just straight up nothing. 
Man that stinks! Hope you can get them to take care of it. Those things should be able to be run loud and for a long time!Well sad day..... My sub is blown
So for now I'm running no sub. Did retune the system today though. Turned down gains a touch as well. Sounds great with help from @redthumper. Still super loud, but hopefully more efficient. Still need to raise amps a touch off the carpet for air flow, but that'll be simple. I didn't want to stand in line outside of Lowes
I had the gain turned 3/4 up. I'm thinking that was too much. Well clearly it was. It's rated at 400 rms 800 peak. The way it was setup was probably pushing 500 rms and 1000 peak. My kids were out with us, and they pumped hip hop alot. Sooooooooo this is probably the cause. I'm going to replace it, but turn it way down. It was too much for sure. I mean sounded great in the boat riding, but outside at the bar the rattling was annoying AF. Behind the boat with towers is awesome. Anywhere else and the rattling is annoying.
I may actually try a sound shop and see if it can be rebuilt first. They're not going to warranty pushing too much power to it. I can say that I retuned system, and it sounds great. Even without the sub. Plenty of mid bass. I may end up leaving the sub out. Highly doubt that though
Did you test the ends of speaker wire feeding sub and confirm you are getting signal? Have you tried the sub on another stereo (home or other)? It could be the amp channel or maybe even a fuse depending on what amp(s) you have??I may actually try a sound shop and see if it can be rebuilt first.

Channels on amps (checked both amps) are just fine. Running two syndx6 amps for entire system. I hooked a garage sub (random sub from a car sitting around in garage) to the channel and it worked no problem. It's the sub. It does nothing. Doesn't register ohms either with a meter. Weird because visually there's nothing wrong with it.
Thank youGood job
. The voice coil in the motor of the speaker is most likely cooked. I'd be willing to bet you didn't blow it because of too "much" power. With what you told me over the phone, I think it was probably over driven into distortion. For reference, I had my SD6 (185wx6) on 6 JL MX650's on the last boat. They are 75w RMS per coaxial. Gains were set up like I spoke to you about. Never blew a speaker. I'd replace that thing asap and get back to rocking!
I do very much appreciate ya for the tuning help. Sounds so much cleaner now. Night and day difference. I'll be replacing the sub for sure. Just not gonna run it as loud. It's just obnoxious.Most of the time you'll never see anything "visually" wrong with a blown speaker. I can usually smell them
Yes I tuned both. So the amps I followed @redthumper9 advice. So what you do is set your head unit volume to 85%. Then set your tone settings. I did 3 bars up on bass, 5 up on mid, and 4 up on treble. Then you turn amp gains all the way down. Set frequency or hz to 110. Then be sure high pass filter is switched on. After all that you turn head unit volume to the set 85%. From there you slowly turn amp gains up until you hear distortion. Use a song with good mids, bass, and treble to test. Once you reach distortion slightly turn gain a little back down. Then your done. For me the high pass filter and setting at 110hz was key
I’ll have to try that out and see if there is a difference. Thanks!
For sure. I noticed a big difference in clarity.
