i ordered a pair of these about a month ago, and have been slowly working on the enclosure for them. i got them installed and working on christmas night, and just today got a chance to sit down and tune it and make sure everything was up to par.
i turned a song on, and turned it up to my normal listening volume and noticed a rattle coming from one sub. i unscrewed the sub and took a better listen. i couldnt hear it as much from the cone side, but when i put my ear between the spokes it was audible, then i put my ear to the pole vent and could hear it very clear.
before today i was pretty easy on them, i never turned the volume higher than i thought would be hard on them. i didnt hear any distortion or anything the whole time.
the pair of subs are receiving about 400 watts rms, at 4 ohms. they're each in a .8 cf sealed enclosure stuffed with 10 oz. of polyfil each.
i'm assuming its blown. i cant hear it from the driver seat, only when i listen a foot away. what shall i do?
