Imagine that, a speaker with air movement in front the cone, probobly the weirdest thing ive ever heard

you probobly need to check the seal between the sub and the box, sounds like you've got some leakage issues

i no it will make some air but its more then what its spose to be. When first got installed i put my hand up to the sub just cuz. No i did it and its like an fan.

if its got a good seal between the frame/gasket and box, then the sub is just doing what it is supposed to do. there is no way it can be doing something wrong. probably just broken in now and moving a little more and you arent used to it.

Sounds like an air leak

probably the surround has a puncture some where allowing air to get thru... take the sub out and inspect around the surround for any wounds

play a low frequency note(25hz-30hz), ull know right away if its air leak, ull hear some weird noise...just to be sure
