Does grinding mean the sub has gone bad?

Your coil is rubbing. Either the coil isn't aligned right or your motor has shifted. If the motor has shifted, your sol.

or, the sub was overpowered and now the coil has begun to unwind due to the glue melting

He said he's had it fixed, so this wouldn't be the case, I wouldn't think.

I have talked to him, you can only use the motor. He's out of cones, last he told me.

When one was playing badly i showed him and he said that it sounded like a loose coil or somethin. After he fixed it he said that there would be a slight noise at low volume. Like static. He said this was something that would go away over time because it would re-position itself over time. Idk

It sounds like tinsel leads broke and he probably soldered them back on, I've seen that on many kickers.

He did say something about some connections too.... Dont really know because he spoke in spanish and said stuff like "bobina".

These were actually my first subs. My brother let me use them. I had two amps running. Once i heard about dd, i made it my life goal to own one. Sold the amp and found a dd on craigslist for cheap.decided to sell the amp. Met both guys (buyer/seller)in the same place parking lot and sold my amp amd got the sub within 20 minutes. Best day ever! Lol
