    I can here them trying with a tick tick noise but they aren't spinning. I tried adjusting the the pot on the drive by turning clockwise in order to give more power. Still no change. Not sure if I have damaged the drivers or what to test next. I reverse the power to the motors as well ticking noise no movement. THe voltmeter showed .175 on xyz drivers and saw a video that said they should be around 1.45. However again turning the pot didn't change the values. Any ideas out there?

    The pot on those drivers suck. I have had the little sheet metal piece that makes the Philips head pop off.

    I'd order new ones or submit a replacement parts request if you are still under warranty.
