Blown Sub

I've got a '97 Mountaineer with the JBL Premium sound system. About a month and a half ago, I was listening to a CD on the way to school, and after a while realized that the bass wasn't working. When I turned it back on after school, it worked for 5 seconds, then stopped, and hasn't worked since. Any ideas as to why this happened? I've already checked fuses, and everything was fine there.

Also, do most head units work with the 6-disc changer that comes with the 97 explorer/mountaineer?

It could be the amp that messed up. Maybe some wiring came loose. Have you installed any aftermarket headunits recently?

Nope. I haven't done anything to it.

Does the amp have any fuses? If so, are they good?

you could have a loose connection to the remote wire on the back of head unit. It is a blue wire and if it looses connection your amp won't work all you have to do is pop out the head unit and make sure it is connected properly. Most likely will be only blue wire.

It turns out it was the speaker, not the amp or headunit that was the problem. I'll just go out and get another 6.5" this week.
