What Car Audio Shops Sell JL Subs / Products In Ontario?
"Related to my JL thread last week and the noises my sub is making when it flexes ... still haven't figured out what the problem is."
When your sub is moving, flexing, knocking, and sound is coming out, than it's doing it's job
.
Dunno how it's done, but check the voltage to see if they're the same. Push on the cone and if it hits the sides or scrapes at all, it could be blown or getting there. If your tinsels were fried, it would stop working all together. Is it possible that it's fried a little and is getting half power to one coil, half to the other (if theres 2 vc's), making the left part of the cone move more left than right? That would cause scraping. Dunno how that works. Before my Pioneers stopped working alltogether, there was scraping when I pushed on the cone. If it's a ported box, you could have some random things caught in the box.

It could be at some point in the excursion.... if it is, you should see marks on the cone above the leads or marks on the insulation over the top hump of the leads. My old 15W3 did that, I just put a piece of foam tape on the cone where the scratches were. It still hit the foam but muffled the sound considerably.

The W6v2/7 wires are suppose to be molded perfectly so they can't hit the cone. I find it hard to believe that might be the case....
