I was running my Sony TS-W308-D4 (400w rms / 1400w max) at 2 ohms on a Kenwood KAC8105D amp (300w @ 4ohms, 500w @ 2 ohms, 1000w max). The volume wasn't turned up very high and I honestly can't tell you where the gain was set at when 'pop' and the sub quit working properly. Now the woofer barely moves and is muted. I checked the voice coils and they both now read around 2 ohms (1.8 & 1.9) when they should measure in at about 4 ohms. Do I need to replace the voice coil(s)? Where can I find replacements? The sub is in very good condition other than that. Newbie here and any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Perhaps your amp's gone and took the subwoofer with it.
BTW, TS-W308-D4 seems to be a Pioneer model #. Are you sure it's a Sony?
Given the cost of that driver, it probably would be best to just buy a new one and donate the one you have to someone who's comfortable with rebuilding it.

The amp is fine. I have it driving a Memphis PRX1224 @ 2 ohms right now and yes, it's a Pioneer. My mistake.
It's discontinued fairly low-end driver. I'd replace it with pretty much any other dual-coil 12" driver.
