is this sub single or dual voice coil?? and what ohms are these subs??
sounds like the sub could be too low of an ohmic load for the amp to handle so the amp shuts off
how is the sub wired to the amp??

dual voice coil 2 ohm 15 inch subwoofer

Without knowing the exact model # of the sub and going by your description, would it be safe to assume the sub is 2 ohms per coil? Or do you mean that it is 2 ohms when wired parallel?
If not the latter, you should be wiring in series for this one as that amp is only 4 ohm stable mono with a rated 450 rms output. Don't know how good of a match power wise for that sub rating would most likely be peak. Could be anywhere in continuous. Hopefully the kicker amp is at least over, but no less than half of the Audiopipe's continuous power rating for better performance.
If possible give the exact model # for the sub and state wattage in continuous only whenever posting here so we can give accurate data.
Don't recognize the name, but if you're new here.... Welcome to CK!

If the coil wire separated at the terminal post, it can be soldered back on and should work fine if the coil wire has enough slack to allow the cone to extend fully. Use 60/40 alloy solder.
If the wire is separated at the voice coil, (Under the dust cap) in most cases, the sub is trashed as this is a very difficult fix that often does not last under hard use.
