You are correct. You can't take them apart without permanently damaging them.

anyone know how I can correct this buzzing noise it makes?

Does it buzz all the time? When it hits the lower notes/ high notes?

 

[scono 10+ year member]

mostly low

Is your box sealed/ported/bandpass/etc...

sounds like its bottoming out and its hitting full excursion.

might be tinsel lead slap though. thats where the little silver strings that go into the center of the speaker that are attached to the speaker terminals hit the underside of the cone.

definetly not bottoming out and its not the tinsels either, it seems like the cone could be seperated. I've had that happen in the past and I sent it in and tehy fixed it for me in like a day.

I was thinking maybe I could do that too.

air leak?

nope, its the cone that makes most of the noise actually. U can even tap it in certain places and it makes a buzzing sound

What kind of voltage are you getting on the speaker outputs of the amp...

might be tinsel lead slap though.

Not on the Kx....woven leads on those, IIRC.

no idea about the voltage but that can't be it. They've been working fine untill I put this back in the back of my trunk and it could have been hitting the woofer or touching it.

I remember back in the day there were discusion about how the cone seperates from something and there's an easy way to fix it i think
