[Shotimes] okay, the subwoofer is not working

[Steve Tatro]

Back when I was a 16-year old zit-faced kid, I worked at Radio Shack.  I
didn't know nearly as much as Jim does.

I vaguely remember some of the argument the two of you had.  Thought it
was kind of silly then, think it was even sillier of Jim to even mention
your name in his recent email.

You both have your opinions on valve springs, that much is clear.  Some
people will believe the masses, and some people will venture out on
their own and possibly make mistakes.  It's okay.

Personally, I'm not about to f*** with my valve springs.  My SHO's got
enough problems ;^)

OK, so you have shown that you know as much about car stereos as the
zit-faced 16-year-old kid working at Radio Shack.

I'm sorry, I guess I'm an inexperienced dumb-ass, since I've only been
getting my hands dirty maintaining/modifying cars for the last 35
years.....BTW, were you born back then?

For the rest of the list who has no clue as to what we are talking
about.....Mr. Leyden feels he is the Supreme Being when it comes to
understanding aftermarket SHO valve springs, and that my earlier advice
to stay with stock springs was obviously the product of my extreme
ignorance, with any comments I made being purely what I picked up as
hearsay. and not the fact that people have lost engines with bad valve
springs.

Sorry, even though it's Friday, I have no patience for assholes today.

If you have an Ohm meter check the resistance of the sub.  It should be
6 Ohms.  If the resistance is good and the cone was blown you would hear
a buzzing sound from the speaker in the lower frequencies.  If the
resistance checks out and you hear nothing, there is some other problem.

just your basic mediocre armchair quarterback
right Ron?
but then I don't get all my answers from reading what someone else
wrote.  I learned from years of experience.

Okay, thanks to Al Fitzgerald Jr. I now have power to the subwoofer
system. However, the sub is not making any sound.  Do we just
automatically conclude that the subwoofer amp must be bad?  Or is there
anything else to check?
