GTCharged Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) This just happened today. I realized that my left sub is still pounding, but it's making a chirping sound, akin to a cricket? It hasn't done this before, and these subs are still only a few months old. I got them mid summer. Specs. are in Signature.

In seriousness though, what do you mean by chirping? Like a high pitched sound, intermittent, what? Can you get a video that will show? Quote POTATO!

GTCharged Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) You know how a cricket sounds? The 2 chirps? It's a high pitch chirping sound, but not loud by any means. And it does it every hit. I'd provide more info, but it's 2:30 AM and... well, you get the idea haha. I know these subs are shitty compared to everyone else on the website, but this is my first system, and can't afford better. So I'm pissed about this, they're only a few months old. They're still babies Edited December 22, 2010 by GTCharged Quote Dual Alpine Type R 12's Dual Alpine M500 Amps Generic Single Front Ported Box JVC HD Radio 2005 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Betcha dollar to a doughnut something's rubbing against the soft parts of the sub. Try pulling the sub out and giving it a LITTLE power free-air and see if it still does it. If not, it's rubbing against something in the box. One time I had a similar noise and traced it to poor alignment of the sub in the cutout. part of the soft parts was rubbing against the inside of the cutout. Granted I was running inverted at the time, but it's worth a try, right? Quote Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few, but never really understood it.
