is sound(not just bas) suppose to come through the subwooferS? or just bass?
mine has sound and bass, the sound is low though.
my subs are hooked up to the headunit, via rca's going to the amp.
the amp i use to power the sub does not have any controls whatsoever. its a nonname, both the sub and amp.

check your head unit manual or post it here for someone to advice as it may have a low pass filter, or check your amp for a "sub woofer" or "frequency" switch and if possible, set it to something like 60 or 80Hz.
For one, bass is sound. "Bass" is simply a lower frequency of sound. You must tell your sub, somehow (like through a filter or "crossover"), which frequencies to play. If you don't, your sub will attempt to play all the frequencies, and could damage the sub. If you have an aftermarkey HU, there may be a sub woofer crossover built in, or the amp you're using to power it may have a high/low pass filter built into it. For finer tuning, you'll want the crossover.

sound will also come through, if they are dual voice coil....
huh?
the original poster's question suggests that he's referring to "sound" as higher frequency. meaning frequencies higher than what a standard subwoofer would play. e.g. above 80-100Hz
if you're suggesting that a dual voicecoil subwoofer is meant to play higher frequencies, i really think you're wrong.
you will hear voices come through the subs on a dual voice coil subwoofer. i have a dual, and my friend actualy uses a set of dual voice 15" in his bedroom as his house speakers.

yeah, if it's not configured properly, you will. but not because it's a dual voice coil.

and i don't even have to listen to them to tell you that if that's all he's using, it's probably close bo being the most horrible home sound system on the planet.
yes, it blows lol, but it does put out treble, i told him not to do it, but yeah.... it doesn't put ou tmuch treble, but i mean, you can still distinguish some voices and words... but rattles the house pretty much.2 much bass for home sound.
i do have an aftermarket head unit
and i can control the bass and treble from it
i dont mind that i can hear sound from the subs, but i dont want the sub to be damaged due to it.
i dont hear the voice from the inside, just the bass.
It features a 4 ohm 2” Parabolic RFL voice coil for 40% more power handling capabilities, a 60 oz. magnet, an oversized rubber surround, and a Poly Zirconium cone for 25% tighter and punchier bass.
i dunno... i just have 1 sub right now, i have went through 2 sets of 12"s a set of 15 and now i'm on my 1 15" with a 360 oz mag
probably because you're passing treble through them
i've had an alpine type-s 12 inch dual voice coil for the last 6 years running at 60Hz and i give it a LOT!!! and it's yet to fail.

any cheap fixes?
yes, you can damage a subwoofer by passing treble through it.
what amplifier are you using? the frequency settings are found either at the head unit or at the amplifier, not on the speaker itself.
"an aftermarket head unit" doesn't really help us help you. be more specific.
you think if i lower the treble on the headunit it will go away, i usually keep the treble all the way up
didnt think about that
i'll see what happens tomorrow if i turn it down

no, that's not what i'm saying at all. if you turn the treble down for the entire system all you'll get is a dull sound.
after you've read that, bass sound is generally anything below 250Hz. Treble sound is generally anything above 5KHz (that's 5,000Hz) anything in between is generally known as midrange.
subwoofers are designed to run at low frequencies, usually below 120Hz. this maximises the sound quality you get out of the speaker and it has a huge effect on the overall sound system performance.
subwoofers are generally connected to amplifiers. what you're trying to do is filter out any sound with frequencies higher than around 120Hz (i use 60Hz) out of the sound signal BEFORE it reaches your subwoofer.
in order to achieve this, you need to split the signal coming out of your head unit. some head units can do this. mine can. all i do is go to the "low pass filter" setting and set it to 60Hz. what this does, is: it sends a sound signal that contains only frequencies that are 60Hz or lower to the amplifier.
if your head unit doesn't have this, your amplifier may have it. some amplifiers have a "low pass filter" built into them, either via switches or via a knob. see if your amplifer has either of these. and if so, set it to something between 50Hz and 120Hz, experiment a little. so the signal going to the speaker is still being split, but in this case, the amplifier is doing the job, not the head unit.
if you don't have a low pass filter either at the head unit or at the amplifier, you'll need to get a crossover network.
