I have 2 12" sony subs. Were working great for months. Started hearing a knock, so I removed them from the box, to see if anything was noticeably wrong. Didnt see anything. When I went to reconnect, I got nothing. The amp is still powering up and the light is illuminating. The only wire disconnected (now reconnected) was from the amp to the subs themselves. What do I do? Is this an easy fix?

sorry, but from your description i dont think there is much help for your sub. unless its new and under warranty. that sounds very typical of a dead sub. i have had a bad run in with sony products just quiting only after a few years. i try to stay away from anything with the word sony on it. a short list of the sony products that i can rememdying only after a year or so cd boom box (3 of the same one) sony 19" tv, sony handi cam (video camera two weeks after warranty peroid), component cd player, alarm clock radio.... the list is longer but i will stop. sorry for your trouble.
Solution 1 would be to diagnose the problem of the low comp in 2& 3 and solve that issue. I would of started w the timing belt 1st. If that didn't solve it,ck head gasket, valves,rings. CK for oil & coolant mixing. Good Luck
i would double check your connections also any fuses on the amp i have blown a few fuses on my amp haven't checked into the main reason for that to happen but its common if you don't have a big enough amp... assuming that the amp is getting overloaded. I would say you need a bigger amp like 1600watt or 1800watt
You did not specify what type of enclosure the subs are in or if they share the same airspace. But the sound you describe sounds suspiciously like the enclosure is at fault and not the sub itself.
Remove and reverse the subs in the box and test for the noise again. If the noise is still produced on the same side of the box, it's the enclosure. If the noise follows the sub, then you have a problem with that sub.
If the box is making the noise, and it's a ported box, you probably have "port noise". If it's a sealed enclosure, you could have either an air leak or flexing noise. In either case, repair the enclosure or put the subs in a new one. If the sub itself is making the noise, there probably isn't much you can do. Most likely some part of the voice coil assembly is touching where it should not.
you've spent alot of money on **** by the sounds of it!!. you should only ever run multiple subs the same brand, power and resistance you can just connect any old subs to a system you need to wire them depending on the load that the amp needs to see. first thing is to try the amp/s on a individual sub to check your amps still work once done check the subs 1 by 1.
yes, the coil's copper wire is broken and making connection just "by chance luck" of being close in proximity. I have actually soldered these breaks, and yes your's can be soldered if the break is clearly visible after sufficient disassembly of coil area. Remember to use emory cloth near the break ends to remove the factory winding varnish and to "tin" the copper ends before they are soldered together. Finish with a good epoxy to bind the repair to eliminate "floating" which may re-break the wires.
