I looked for any kind of abrasion marks on the leads and the back of the cone.....nothing there.....
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.....

I wouldn't want to push that but if the time permits this weekend, maybe we can give it a whirl ...
Let me get back to you on that, just see what I'm scheduled for.

So for kicks, I emailed JL to see what they'd have to say ... and guess what ...
"Hi Robert.
There isn't a problem with the sub. The problem is the adjustment of the amp. The amp is clipping causing the woofer to move past its limitations and make the popping noise you are hearing."
I'm not 100% convincned so I guess the thing here is to throw the sub onto a bigger amp to see if the amplifier is really the issue at hand. I HOPE that's the issue but ... who knows.

Yeah, I'll be sure to film me busting my sub if and when that happens, just for you 
That's what I hope WON'T happen but ... who the hell knows with this thing.
I think its cursed ... maybe there's a dead soul living it.
Living behind the port.

I'm going to get a schedule for this weekend, as soon as I do I'll let you know if we need to make some video footage for the site this weekend (aka taking the sub out) ... I'll be in touch in regards to that.
P.S. I can always sell the box
