[QUOTE="Utp9, post: 8685248, member: 678118"] Not sure if this is this is the correct place to post, if not please direct me to the correct place. Hello everyone, I recently purchased my first subwoofer set off my local classifieds for 85€: Boston 12.5fl+Boston gt-28+20f hybrid cap. I got everything installed and going great and I bridged the channels to mono, as the amp is rated at 1350w max and sub 1200w, I thought it'd be fine. However, because I wasn't thinking I put all the bass settings to maximum and turned the volume pretty high and put a heavy song on. What happened after is that the sub started to rattle as you can hear: [MEDIA=youtube]3vLw3aELaNU[/MEDIA] and made a pretty big stink. It plays up to 50-55% before the rattle starts, so it's not "completely" ruined. Just wondering, since nothing is visually wrong with the cone, what component(s) is damaged and would it be possible to fix? Thanks for the help. EDIT: Well darn, anyone know where I could get a recone kit? Or, what's a modern equivalent of this sub? [/QUOTE]
