[QUOTE="realflow100, post: 8672078, member: 676243"] the coil measures fine. it doesnt behave weird other than the ticking noise. the amp is working fine too. powers my other sub just fine on the same channel. if I move the cone in and out by hand i can hear the ticking only when the sub is moving inward. it doesnt get louder the louder I play the sub. once the ticking sound happens it's just audible but doesnt get louder the louder i play it. the sub can be reaching close to maximum excursion and the ticking sound isnt any louder than at low excursion. it doesnt sound anything like coil rub at all. if i press on the spider in a certain spot it stops for a moment then comes back ive measured the subs they are reading exactly the same. it sounds like its in one spot of the spider like a chunk of glue is stuck underneath it or something weird right near the voice coil and then the suspension stretches downward it makes a noise as the glue separates and touches the spider again?? but its not coming from the coil or very edge of the coil where it attaches to the spider. its coming from somewhere in the middle of the spider between inner and outer edges of the spider in one specific spot. i tried pinching the spider all along the different ribs/waves around that area and it helped a tiny bit but its still doing it.
