Im hearing this what sounds like a mechanicle noise cooming from one of my 15's and you can only really hear it on the kick drum bass notes or the higher notes like 50 60hz range. Any one know what this could be ?

Dust cap coming loose? Torn spider?

Could be coil rub, or possibly the triple joint is starting to fail. I had this happen on a sub in the past and it sounded weird at higher frequencies but did not in the lower frequency range. I pulled the subs and the triple joint was starting to rip, so I grabbed a bit of 5 min epoxy and re-glued that bastard down. It fixed it for quite some time until the portion where I had glued it to the cone started to rip. You can't save a sub forever by half-assing it, but sometimes it will work for a while to get you by.

Ok so im bout to remove my sub and now if there is not joint failure or spider tear and no coil run then what else could i be hearing ?

Test it first. then worry about what to do if you can't find anything if that situation arises.
