guys i think that my drivers side woofer is not working anymore, i already check the RCAs, and the speaker wire (on the amp, crossover, and speaker)...

and i think its the driver...

it could be the wire ( some part inside the carpet) or the crossover, but i dont think so becouse the tweet is working fine, but i will check them on the weekend..

but if its the woofer what can I do??
it doesnt smell like burned, and it looks fine at first glance..

i have the SR6500

    If it is the woofer, you can call up polk and order a replacement woofer. Tell them you are part of club polk forums and you'll get 20% off and free shipping (this was last time I ordered). Replacement isn't going to cost too much, but it comes bare, so save all the parts off of your old woofer.

    I think you need to get a multimeter to check wire continuity to the speakers.
    LSIm system on order =D

    Polk customer service is pretty awesome. They are prompt and the ability to order each piece separately is great.

    guys it wasnt the driver..

    it was a problem with the crossover, but it was solved easily...

    the thing is that i hit a pot hole in the road, and since I have a lowered vehicle and a rock solid suspension, the hit was actually very hard, and one of the cables on the crossover get loose or break...

    I went to my local shop to check it all with a multimeter, and find the broken cable, next to the crossover..

    So guys thanks a lot for all the help, I really appreciate it..
    And I was so scared =( but thankfully it was only the cable..

    Now I love more my SRs
