carshateme Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Another issue could be a blown...or start of a blown driver...It happened to one of my kenwoods back in 2008. If you just bought them recently...it should be covered under the warranty. Try this. Push down on the sub woofer, not hard...but see if you can hear any time of scrapping noise...if so...your voice coil is rubbing against the driver.

SPL Blazer Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I doubt it's blown, since he said it happens to both subs. And they are in a sealed box, so nothing odd would have been sucked in through a port......done that a few times with plastic shopping bags, lol. I never heard of this type of thing, and it's odd that it's happening to both subs at the same time too.

I never heard of this type of thing, and it's odd that it's happening to both subs at the same time too. Well normally it happens to one...then that one sub starts getting less power and the power is forced over to the other sub....that's the only thing I can think of. Plastic bags. Nice. xD Quote New build coming soon.

It's how I tore a hole in my spiders on my kenwoods...I wasn't paying attention. Plastic bags. Nice. xD Quote New build coming soon.

dfoland93 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 yeah take them out of the box instead of guessing and assuming Well yeah obviously ahahah... I just did a quick look at them. Quote The spot with least resistance LOL. I would ground to a rubber dildo if it had less resistance than a run of 4/0 wiring. how many poeple work there 3 or 4 lol At crescendo HQ? probably 2-3 At the sweatshop in china? 30,000 children No Engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoland93 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yeah idk it sounded wierd. I think the voice coils are scrapping the driver cause it made a scratchy sound. Ok now though the next question. You have all given great advice on what it might be, now if it is one of those how do i correct it? Quote The spot with least resistance LOL.

SPL Blazer Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 If the coil is scraping then you might as well throw them out. Your option would be to recone them, but I seriously doubt anyone sells a recone kit for those, and thats not something for a noob to do either.
