One of my 15's decided it wanted to stop working... there are no signs of punctures , the cone itself wont move or nothing... Anyone have any ideas? is this fixable or no..

Troubleshoot...switch subs...if still nothing check connections...if other sub plays after swap its sub...something could've came loose...speaker wire...rca...check wires on sub and make sure they didn't come off too...if all is good and sub still doesn't play if you bought from dealer it should be straight swap from dealer unless really old...spider...coil...terminal...can be fixed unless motor went... still can be fixed

If its actually frozen you have bigger problems in there. If you bring it inside for a while and it loosens up, play that thing HARD for a while to get the voice coil good and hot. Then bring it back inside to cool. You will have burned off the condensation but if left out in the cold it will return.

If it doesnt losen, time for a new sub.

I think he meant froze up as in the voice coils have seized.
Ive done it to a couple subs. If thats what happened its pretty much just a huge paperweight. is it still under warranty? They might fix it(or replace) if so.
