the hissing noise as stated previously is the air coming through the pole vent trying to get back out of the cap. either the cone may have a pinhole in it somewhere or the cap isnt sealed correctly! This is what CA glue is for!

oh and i didnt mention you could smell the sub after i took it out the box

haha no i dont think he sealed the dustcap correctly, he used the 3m adhesive that he used to put the carpet on his box, and yes there are probably little holes around the dustcap cause it probably isnt sealed good

try to pop the cap off.. buy some 2part epoxy and reglue it properly

if you smelled the sub then you are obviously pushing the sub too hard. Turn the gain down, fix the dustcap. 1200w clean is louder than 1500w dirty!!!!!

i know they do. People cant seem to get that through there head though. i think sub companies should make it mandatory that you buy and o-scope when you buy there sub. but then you will have people that dont know how to use an o-scope and still fry there shit!
