Dangerous or not?

[folgrz 10+ year member]

Ok today i realized that my front driver speaker started crackling very badly. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/plthumbsdown.gif.d7966af824c93c6021d1aae1778b1c19.gif

So i proceed to take off my door panel and see what is wrong with the speaker.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

After about 30 minutes of troublesooting i realize that everytime that a bass line hits the voice coil touches the speaker and creates this noise. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/graduate.gif.d982460be9f153bb54e5d4cb744f6ae8.gif

So i proceeded to bend back the voice coil and viola!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif no more crackling, but as i keep listening it eventually happens again.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/pissed.gif.9f665f96bc89e98e708dabd4580bb591.gif

Now my question is would it be dangerous to tie the voice coil down so it will refrain from hitting the cone everytime bass hits.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I was thinking maybe a piece of string or something but im not doing anything to it until i find out it thats ok any input would be greatly appreciated

TIA.

you mean tinsel leads? If so, just tape down some cotton balls under them.

the actual voice coil hit the cone everytime a bass line hit... i want to know about tieing down the actual voice coil so the cone wont hit it

The cone should be attached to the VC.

Please try and clarify and pics if possible.
