Forevrbumpn Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 what kind of sub is it? sounds like it could be a popped dome, or leads slapping I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
Boon Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 Where are you applying pressure to? The cone or the outside of the sub? If putting pressure on the cone stops it then you have some issue with the moving parts obviously... maybe spiders coming away from the basket or dust cap coming off the cone. If applying pressure to the side of the sub stops it then you might have snapped a screw (or a couple). If the box is braced internally then a brace may have come away inside at one end. I would run the sub free air at low power (get some excursion going though) just to make sure it isn't related to the sub. 10.x volts fo' life!

a_steezy Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Posted December 8, 2008 chea, it's on my L7 in the sig with that set up i will pull it out and look at it, and run low power with the free air it also is on the lows, not just higher 50-100hz tones so idk, i'll try to get a vid last one thing that worries me is when i put the sub in, i drilled pilot holes, but the screws seemed to go in kinda sidways, i'm afraid that if i take the sub out, the holes will be fucked and not grip with the screws '98 Dodge Durango 5.9L 5% front windows, 2.5% on all backs Alpine CDA-9883 Kicker ZX350.4 Kicker KS650's in all doors Kicker 1/0 hyperflex
