tacomaguy1 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 Play it free air (out of the box) and see of the noise is there You could be pushing down uneven causing rub. If its not there when the sub is out of the box, its not the sub Team Flex Issues

89capricebass Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Posted January 4, 2013 Alright So I just played the sub free air and the coil rub was clearly audible. Should have done this before I stuffed it in the box I built, but then again I shouldn't have to, since skar should have tested it before it shipped to me. Dont know how they could have missed the noise during testing. Not trying to talk crap about skar because I know mistakes can and will happen, especially when things get busy. Hopefully I can get this warrantied and get it fixed or replaced. Will update with more info when Skar emails me back.

skaraudio Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 We will go ahead and get the woofer replaced for you if there is coil rub. I believed you emailed me about this and the woofer is already on it's way. Sorry about the problem, we will gladly replace it asap :-) -Kevin Skar Audio www.SkarAudio.comPhone : (888) 501-7527
