Damaged Sub?

[TuckyKal 10+ year member]

So I have 2 12" performance elemental design subs and a Cadence Z9000 amp... one of my subs has a little rattle when it hits... I have taken it out of the box, rewired it, made sure the box is air tight... it's sealed perfectly and is dynamatted on the inside out. Both subs have been given the same amount of power... they are DVC subs... The rattle isn't audible when the subs are played loudly-the speaker in question hits just as hard as the other speaker.. kind of confused. What does this mean?

would that eD sub be flat or concave with an "e" logo on it?

If it's a flatcone, then I'm not sure, email jeremy@edesignaudio.com. If it's the older "e" logo sub, then it's prolly your tinsels slapping on the cone. Get a flat piece of cotton and stick it to the place where the tinsels might be hitting at the rear.

yes, I don't think it's blown, it could just be a simple tinsel slap proble. Why don't you give eD a call and see what they can advise you to do? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

eh, I did sir and they want me to send it to them--but I dont want to pay for shipping and all that so I'm going to play with it myself--It's not that bad I just like to know my subs are in perfect working order... Kinda picky..

ohhh, how exaclty would I go about getting to where I need to apply the cottom to prevent the slapping from being audible? thanks for all your help..
