Blown??

so i was with my homeboy and we were driving around listening to his music, then all of a sudden we hear a pop, but bass still hitting and everything is fine. Open up his trunk and find the middle plastic part of the sub is on the floor of the trunk, the cone thing that has the logo on it, take the sub out the box and the wires were all loose, so im thinking some of the wires touched =( plug all the wires back together, glued the cone back on and the sub hits but it has this hissing noise, sounds like a springy noise, dont know what it could be and how could we get it fixed if there is a way to fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any thoughts??????

[scottcrotch 10+ year member]

idk how hard he was pushing it, i know that he wasnt pushing more than the rms rating of the sub im pretty sure

are you talking about the dustcap? if so the hissing noise is its not completely sealed good. had a mephis hpo with that problem.

eh let me go see what i can do real quick and give you guys some more info

 

[scottcrotch 10+ year member]

the sub is in the box tight, the sub hits and its clean, but when you're near the sub you can still here that noise, its like a hissing noise, and it definitly didnt sound like that before

i assume it's still under warrenty and if so just tell them what's up. but i think you voided it after re-glueing the dust cap back on.
