head above the magnet? what do you mean?
both subs are mounted upside down (and ported) and when i put my head on the top of the box (closest to the magnet) they both make a noise when they play music, im going to assume every time the sub push's in and out, and even if the song does not have alot of bass the whole box shakes when it does it.

could be one of those trim rings on those subs. take those off and see if it helps.
i put my head above where the magnet is on the sub and its deff making a werid noise i dont know if it is just how they operate because they both do it? im stumped lol

IMO....from past subwoofers doing this...it's a sub problem. It could be multiple things, but do what the guy a couple posts up said, free air the sub, if it still makes the noise...or a crackling noise...then you have a big problem.
Is it just me...or isn't setting the sub dB on a headunit...a very bad idea? I know I completely killed subs by doing that...which is the reason it remains at 0 dB.
Past problems - Blown driver, Dust cap annihilated, Voice coil rubbing, Hole in the spider.
Sub DB is fine as long as it remains below 10, they recommend 8 (if my alternator could handle all 1200 watts) but it can not, Bass +DB is very bad i hear though, thats why its way far in the negative's. What would be the big problem if it makes a werid noise going up and down?

check your plastics on your car, my back hatch would do that and i thought it was the box or dustcap doing it
Me and a friend took the whole box out of the car it still makes the same noise, the guy who installed it has agreed to take a look at it. not a bad idea, but the noise even inside the car you could tell was in the box and or the actual box. We will have to see what he says

Sounds like you are simply bottoming the sub out. Basically over excursion, causing the coil to hit the bottom of the motor. Usually a result of playing below tuning with no subsonic filter set.
What is the box tuned to?
What should i set my subsonic filter to?

Yikes, i will have to call the guy and ask what the box is tuned to. Didnt know you could bottem out at 30 HZ but play 40hz and 20hz just fine? the subs do make a clapping noise almost when bass plays if you lay your head near the box, ( no matter what song )
-
Could be the wood cracked or maybe the wires from the subs slapping the box on the inside.
The sub wire can make that loud throaty sound? The box is brand new (about 13 days)

Hi, i have 2 12" JL w6v2's just bought from a JL authorized dealer, and a custom box they built with the subs facing down and port out the front.
When the subs play anything below 30hz they make a very werid rattling noise, it is bearable but noticeable enough to have me worried(Almost sounds like a knocking). I can not tell if its the structure of the box or the actual subs making this noise, Any and all opinions are welcome !!

3-5 seconds
13-15 seconds
22-24 seconds closest to side of sub woofer
---------------------------------------------
JL Audio actually faxed the dealer the box design claiming it would work best in a softtop vehicle
HD 1200.1 amp
Head Unit Settings From Dealer
Bass = -6
Sub = +10
Treb = 0
Fade = +R2
sounds like your box is coming apart a friend of mine had the same issue pulled the carpet back off the box and you could see it coming apart just a thought
Thats what i am thinking, Ive spent 1700 dollars on this system and he refuses to take a glance at it. He claims its my truck rattling and i can bring it in next week again for another check. Ive spent over 4,000 dollars at this store, ranging from car alarams , remote start + Smart Phone start , 2 amps, and many subwoofers. this is the last time i let someone else install my stuff!

Just wanted to say thanks you guys

I've never heard that place one b4. But than again im no expert. I actually think my subs sound better with the windows down cuz there is not as much rattle...
Yeah idk, maybe ill buy two boxes and see which one i like better, he gives me decent deals i was just making sure these deals im getting are actually the best bang for my buck. Although im not making an SPL machine just something that gives a little extra
-
I don't think it will matter cuz I seen some vidz of softop jeeps hitting 160+ with ported boxes.
The guy at the car audio store i go to says that having a soft top is like having all the windows down in a car its just not going to sound good. Maybe because he doesn't want to take the extra work and build a ported box for me?

2 JL audio 12 w6's 32 width 33 length 13 height is the maximum i can do in my jeep. and i want something that will hit hard so most likely rap.

Hi, i was unsure about where to post my question and i am not looking for a sealed vs ported war, but considering i have a soft top Jeep Wrangler; will a ported box not preform as well as a sealed box would in this vehicle?
