hard to tell without hearing it first hand. There is also the chance that the "W" cone is pulling away from the front cone. Just thought of that. There is a rise in the middle of the "W"cone that mounts to the center of the front cone. If they separate, it would make some noise... The only way to fix it is to pull off the front face (without tearing the surround) and re-glue it to the W cone. It glues in the center and around the surround. Anyone that can get JL recones can get the front face with surround. Then you just have to re-glue one back on to the W cone...
Good luck with that one bro...

Man I wish you would have tried it free air. There's a lot of crap inside that box. I wonder if one of the braces are rattling... hard to tell without hearing it first hand.

That theory would make sense to me (slightly) since on hard flexes, it acts up ...
However, what would happen here? The whole top piece would fly off? Wouldn't it of done something already, by now? I'm playing it and playing it and there's been no results, good or bad ...
I just thought that maybe but now, the damn thing would blow up. But that just doesn't happened.

like Paul said attach some foam to the back of the cone over where the wires are.
sometimes it would leave a mark and sometimes it would not, depending on the type of insulation used on the wire.
if that's not the problem then something is up with the suspension. the spiders might be folding too much. how many spiders are on that thing?

If the dust cap has separated from it's center glue point, that may account for the noise. It doesn't start until there is a fair bit of excursion and if it is being flexed it could be bouncing off the top end of the former. At one point I was wondering if it was hitting the back plate but I don't think it was moving far enough....
Rob if you want to pop it out again and power it up the weather is supposed to be better by the weekend.....
