Subwoofer Confusion

[SundownZ71]

I have an SA-15, sounds amazing. But every time I start my car to go somewhere or even start it to jam, my sub sounds stiff and then it noticeably starts to sound more loose after 2 or 3 minutes of going full tilt. I can even start it, play 10 minutes, turn it off then turn it right back on and it starts all over again. Any ideas on what the deal is here?

Sounds stiff? explain. And what type of box?

Let me see, like it's cold and needs to warm up? And it's in a 4 cube box tuned to 32hz

As the spider warms up it will get a bit looser. When it cools it will reset.

Thanks Jacob, that's all I needed to know. Just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong.

2 weeks or so

when you say turn it off and right back on again, do you mean that literally? Like turn your radio off, then immediately back on again. Then the whole sounding stiff process starts back over again? That doesn't sound like enough time for spiders too cool down to me.

I meant more as in like a 10-20 minute waiting period, sorry about that

ahh ok, gotcha.
