Boon Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Might be something in the gap, or gap rub... you could try blowing some compressed air in and around the gap, pole vent etc. 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode69 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 could be a loose dust cap or loose spider...have you played some really low notes and bottomed it out or anything? could have knocked the spider loose. pull the sub out and push the subs up from the bottom to check that NoFearX18 said: Nick will bang just about anything.....LMAO....pun intended On 4/13/2010 at 9:51 AM, meade916 said: i was like DAMN, Chode is hardcore! he makes james look like a friendly person LOL! trainman0978 said: I dont know who is worse with the buttholes Chode or Big P...

Boon Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Chode makes a very good point... pull them out and inspect them, give them a good push/pull and see if anything moves that shouldn't. 'Ticking' can even be a small air leak somewhere. 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g6ryder Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 i had a friend look at it who is way more experienced than me and he said that wen manufactured the cone was slightly slanted and wen the sub excurs the voice coil is hitting the motor/magnet idk if thats true www.wooferwarehouse.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford302Redneck Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 When you move the cone, make sure to move it evenly. If not, it can cause the coil to rub. Take the sub out and freeair it, and listen/look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
