motor shifted? FML

[soundstream15]

I reconed my dc lvl 4 m2s to xl upgrades and everything went well. Installed them and went easy for a few days went full tilt yesterday and it made a loud slapping noise, kinda like pooping noise or something, so at a low volume you can hear a rattle type sound, when you turn it up it kinda goes away.

If I push one 1 side of the dust cap the noise goes away and it goes back to normal so did I mess reconing with the coil coil not being centered or did my motor shift

Probably not centered perfectly would be my bet.

I hope that's all it is, the other sub is good.

[Lbox88]

Has the bad one been dropped or banged around a lot? If not, which I would guess it probably hasn't, then I doubt the magnet would just shift on it's own.

It's a lot easier to fuck up a recone than it is to shift the motor.

[soundstream15]

I bought the magnet and baskets off a local dude so not sure. I would hope not but you never know

[soundstream15]

Would a sub still work if a motor shifted

[ChevyBoy95]

Coil is slightly shifted, recone didn't go well is all.

If the motor shifted... you would know without a doubt.

edit: not sure on the slapping noise, but the rubbing sound, pushing on the side of the dustcap and it goes away, and not noticing it at higher volumes all points to coil rub, not shifted motor.

Yeah, gonna order another recone. Shit happens

Thanks

if the top plate, ferrite slugs, and the bottom plate all look inline with each other, its probably the recone.

if the motor shifted the sub would not be playing. well it may play but it will scrape every inch of its motion. sounds like a poor recone is all.
