ROCKFORD FOSGATE, THE PUNCH FOR THE TRUNK!

 

[mrpopnfresh]

Would you guys prefer Rockford, or JL's? I heard JL w6's are nice, but I've been hearing a lot about Rockfords from people in this forum.

hey, that was MY plan too.lmao

i would stick a jl in there if it was me.

 

[t3ase]

JL by far. I've used both and now I have two 10W0s in there.. VERY clean.

And by the way, Dex, my sub's blown too.

Dex: Dude! Take a pill! Relax! All is good, buddy. Don't get so stressed out. These things happen, and yeah; they are a pain in the ass. Mazda will make it good for you. Rest assured.

 

[Dexter]

i am chill. i just sound pissed off. lol. i just really DESPISE going back to the dealer, but all is well. ive only got one more day of school, and then i got all the time in the world to grab my friends and head on over there. staying in the dealership waiting rooms by yourself SUX FAT NUTS heheh

 

[servoeyes]

One thing Dex...bring a multimeter, check the sub impedence in front of them and save yourself some wait. They're gonna want to check this, that and the other. Chances are they won't have the damn thing in stock and they have to order the whole sub box. My dealer had to order it and it's on back order...that was about 2 weeks ago. Enjoy! I'm not...(argh)

 

[Albert]

I know EXACTLY what you're going thru, Dex. Friday, drive to work, sub worked fine. Got out of work, no sub. Took it in today, they "verified" it wasn't working (the amp is getting power and it's sending the signal to the sub). Of course Mazda was closed when they tried to call to get the part, so I have to wait to hear from them tomorrow to see what's up. Wonderful. They better replace the whole damn thing.

Has anyone else taken theirs apart? I took it out, took all the screws out, but the carpeted particle board was glued to the plastic, so I never got to see the sub itself. Has anyone broken the glue out and taken a look inside?

 

[Gazord]

My sub has been dead for about a week now too... I haven't had time to investigate it to see if the amp is getting a signal or not. Every once in a while it will kick on for a couple seconds and then cut off...

I haven't been too worried about it cause it sucks anyway, motivation to put some real bass in there. Kinda strange a lot of peoples seems to be dying though...:wtf:

 

[Dexter]

this is lame. thanks for the info albert, thats exactly what is goin on. the amp is on, the red LED is on. boooo

 

[tekkie]

I dunno what is wrong with mine but this morning on the way to work the damn sub kept cutting in and out, then on the way home tonight it did the same thing. Mine almost seems like there is something loose because once I turn the music up loud it starts up again, like it rattles something back into place. I have not had a chance to look in the trunk yet but I am hoping its something as simple as tightening a screw. what are the chance of luck going my way for once.. I dont really care its still under warranty

 

[servoeyes]

I went through this before and brought it up with 1st MP3, who seemed to think that we're all just setting our bass eq boost too high. Seemed logical at the time. But the cutting in and out seems to point to a qc flaw that kenwood missed. I get the feeling that these things are on backorder because kenwood is replacing/testing each and every box, so it may take a bit. Hopefully we'll end up with some good stuff in the end though. I thought they should have put a better quality sub in the trunk, from the beginning!! Oh vell....
