I have a Kicker SX1250.1 amp that displays the service message on the screen. It happened when I had a subwoofer expire or vice versa. Nothing on the board looks burned or is loose. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Loren

when you say swing arms i assume you are talking about the wires connecting the terminal (where you connect the wires to the sub) to the voice coil (the center of the sub).
If these are broken it is tricky to solder new wires back on. If your sub is still under warranty i would suggest sending it back to them. below is there number and business hours. Kicker Customer service Email: [email protected] Phone: $05-624-8510 M-F 8AM-5PM Central Time
off the same amp? you have two way different sounding speakers man. you can buy 2 identical speakers from the same company and brand and series and they will play differently every time. you have 2 speakers with nothing in common so you will hear a difference and maybe interference because of the different ohm levels.
try using a ohm meter and if its not making what the factory specs are its most likly it will keep loosing more and more power then stop working which is what ive had happen to me before
Assuming the amplifier is 2 ohm mono stable... the amplifier is bridgeable... and the subwoofers are Single 4 Ohm Voicecoils, You would wire them as follows....
Both + on Both subs to the + bridged terminal on the amplifier. Both - on Both subs to the - bridged terminal on the amplifier.
This will net a 2 ohm mono load for your amplifier.
If you have something different - let me know... and I will give you the proper wiring for what you have.

make sure the impedance is right for the amp you're using. If you're using a 4ohm amp and a 2ohm sud that may be the problem. It may be overdriving the amplifer which is bad and can cause damage to the amp. Hope this helps.
The Kicker 08ZX400.1 would be a great amp for your subwoofer. It will work into a 4ohm load with no problems.
But you can buy an amp with more power, looks better, has a smaller footprint, and cost less than the 400.1. I'd look at the Alpine MRP-M500. Take a look at it here at Crutchfield. The M500 is also easy to install, runs cool, and is very efficient.
As an authorized Kicker Retailer - i can tell you that kicker will NOT recone any subwoofer that is out of warranty!!
The only sub you can repair is the soloX.
The cone assembly is proprietary, and there is NO company that can make the repairs because kicker does not sell the parts.
(although i have heard stories of people having an IN or knowing somebody working at Kicker to get a new assembly, but its 1 in a million that it will happen.)
Sorry.
