Hey guys, sub making some noise. You know when your sub is playing and you touch it makes a rattling sound. Well, my sub sounds like that when it plays. Looked around my sub and nothing is touching it. Any ideas?

 

Likely culprits are the tinsel leads slapping the cone, the cone separating from the spider/former, and maybe even a delaminated or deformed coil.

 

sorry about DUKK he is an engineer and speaks that engineer language.. what he is trying to say is your sub is SHOT!! go to your nearest visions electronics super store and buy a new one.. hell buy two. lol

 

 

It still hits hard and low! So it doesn't seem to me that i would need a new one. Plus i took her out and it was the tinsel leads. Is that cause for an alarm?

 

not really. It happens from time to time. Some woofers even have a little square of foam tape on the cone right there to keep the leads from smacking the cone.

 

pioneer has been doing this on there subs for yrs.. my last comment was a blatent attempt at sleezy salesmanship tactics..lol.

 

I thought Pioneer had the tinsels woven into the spider?
