heightzbest562 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Just report the other thread and tell the mods it was a double post and ask for it to be deleted. Was the sub hot to the touch? Stinky? it was really hot , and it smelled like direct current burning a resistor , , but it was playing and bass was sounding great just there was a rattle at higher volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro7 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Cmon man. You even had signs telling you something bad was gonna happen Quote I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 You are clipping the shit out of the signal most likely. Higher volume could be the former bubbling as stated before or could be the coil jumping gap and tapping the pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heightzbest562 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 ok aside from the obvious that i did everything wrong.. woofer still plays my concern is do i need a recone ? im not gonna play music on it untill i get evrything right .. i have an oscope on the way someone replied in the other post saying that the coil might have been bubbling? anyone is familiar with that ? the bubbling i stated in the other, i saw first hand, and Rusty explained it to me (the owner of DC). The massive heat build up can cause gasses while the resin/glue starts to melt and evaporate on the windings, with the flatwound coils, there is no where for this gas to go, so it takes the path of least resistance, the aluminum former, which it will bubble out and create a ridge all the way down to the bottom of the former where it can escape. this ridge can touch the pole and cause a rattling sound. your problem might be this, it might not, but a recone is probably the only thing to fix your said "rattle". man if i have to recone 1 i might as well just recone both to upgrade them ( i have 2 woofers i had only 1 playing) if you cut the dustcap off without hurting the cone, looking down to the pole and coil will be your best bet. if you have the issue i stated above, you will see something like this.... which kind of dustcap do you have?

CJ18 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Check the impedance on the coils and see if one is gone. If they are still good, keep playing it but get your electrical right and set your gains properly. If there is still that rattle, then it is time for a recone.

SnowDrifter Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Not reading through the whole thread on mobile. Why are you running a 5k amp on stock electrical? That is problem number one. Two: that amp is a bit too much power for the sub in the first place. Three: how did you determine that 1/2 gain was the proper setting for you? Four: beats for my van right? That's pretty low. You sure you didn't bottom out your sub? Does the sub scrape when you push down on the cone by hand? What do the cools read if you check them with a DMM?
