I was reading some other posts of guys fixing there own blown sub. I have a HCCA 12 sitting around that I want to see if I can fix it. I'm not quite sure what's wrong with it, it still plays and all but theres a rattle that sounds like 2 peices of plastic hitting eachother. Anyone know specifically what the problem is? How can I fix it? I'm willing to sacrafice the sub trying so don't be shy. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Your going to have to find the problem before we can offer any help. Run the sub out of a box at low levels to see if you can see exactly where the noise is coming from. Once that is determined then you can fix the problem. It's probably a tinsel lead slap but not sure.

I'll see where the sounds coming from then get back to you, thanks. I assumed this was a specific sound for a problem, my mistake. The sub's tinsel leads are embedded in the spider, I'm not sure if they can slap? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

I've fixed two subs with a problem that sounds like what your describing. Check to see if the magnet on the back is loose. Try banging on it because it most likely will seem secure.

All I did to fix the prob was crazy glue. I pound those repaired speakers everyday and they still sound great!
