CTATV Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 i have a 15" kicker solobaric L7 that has been in storage in my basement for a few years. i decoded to put it on my pickup truck and was giving it a onceover. it is out of the enclosure and not connected to a power source. it seems locked up and wont move in or out. is that a sign that i smoked it last time it was used? thoughts?

CTATV Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 any chance of salvaging it? If it is done ill be sad but it got well used. bought it as a junior in highschool (02) and have run it hard it 3 different vehicles over the years. bought it on ebay for 213$ back then. i thuroughly got good use out of it so if its corroded rather than melted, is there any way to free it up? I ran a memphis 500 watt digital amp to it so it wasn't being pushed anywhere near its RMS or peak limits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
