I had that same problem a long time ago with some 8's i bought off a guy. thats one of the many issues with cheap speakers. in the rush to mass produce, the thing is 1 or both the metal plates that the magnet is in between isnt on straight or cut wrong causing the coil to rub ever so much. (nothing you can really do) since the baskets are usually stamped instead of bolted to the motor structure.

i think i have one more of these at work i have them marked down to 25 dollars so im gonna trash the bad one and get the other one i only bought them to bump around with till i get some fi btl 18"s i wanna be like steve
