Sethorama Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) are you sure you pressed squarely on the cone? if the sub plays fine im wondering if you didn't press at a bit of an angle and just rubbed the coil slightly if you dont hear any rubbing while playing then you might have not pressed the cone evenly. try doing it again but make sure your press down on it evenly Just checked it again.. I can press directly under the dc logo and get it to rub.its a noticeable rub that you can hear and feel. now if i even it out and press above it as well it doesnt rub if thats what your meaning by square. Is it normal to hear this type of rub because this would be my first one.. And im not pressing it at a angle where it would angle the vc to it.

Miguels Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 its normal because the pressure is not even making it rub.. if you press evenly and not hear it then there is no issue.. recording a video and posting it can help a lot Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) you're forcing the woofer to scrape the voice coil against the motor. press straight down, directly in the middle of the dust cap.

Sethorama Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Okay than there is no point to make a video. i can squarely push it down and it wont do it. My other sub i can press it at any angle no noise nothing. what could cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 If you are pressing evenly on the dustcap and it does not rub, there is nothing wrong. Does the coil seem to move freely when you press down or is it tough to press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethorama Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 If you are pressing evenly on the dustcap and it does not rub, there is nothing wrong. Does the coil seem to move freely when you press down or is it tough to press? Its pretty stiff. Like i said it sounded fine when i was playing it. it just rubs only on one side if i push down on it. also if i poke on the dust cap it sound different as well if that makes any sense..

Sethorama Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) heres a video for the hell of it Edited November 28, 2013 by Sethorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 When you just press on the 1 side, you are causing the coil to tilt. The suspension on that sub is not that stiff to prevent you from doing that. Can you shine a flashlight in the gap vents in the bottom of the sub and see if you can see even spacing between the coil and the pole.
