But the part about Abby...
So I wanted to rewire my subs to have less impedance and get more power from my Amp. Well after my accident, I just muted the radio whenever I was driving because it was a distraction, and never played it afterwards. When I finally got my car home, I just took the box out of the trunk until I got all the repairs done.
The only 'damage' I incurred from the impact of the ditch (aside from a dented exhaust can, but that's not major) was there was enough force to strip the amp from it's 4 screws into the sub box. Or so I thought...
After rewiring the speakers for the lower resistance, and getting everything reconnected, I found that 1 of my subs was making some crackling noise that it hadn't made before the incident. Patrick and I figured it had to do with the wiring, so we checked, double checked, and then did it all over again to make sure all the connections were correct, and the wiring matched the diagram we were going off of.
At this point after much troubleshooting, we determined the sub itself was in fact in some way malfunctioning inside the spider and basket. So basically now I have 1 good sub, in a 2 sub box. (Separate chambers, but still just 1 filled) The other sub is no good for audio now and is just a very large/heavy paperweight.
I did at some point want to go down to only 1 sub in the car since 2 was a bit of overkill, but I wanted to be able still use the 2nd one in the event something happened to the one, or I got a 2nd car. I've lost that ability now.
