Well yesterday me and my roommate replaced the tinsels, and today we tried it and it works!!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I just hope it stays fixed. Kind of too good to be true. Cost 8 bucks to fix it, and it doesn't even make any tinsel slap or grinding noises at all, sounds like it did when I had it new. Thanks a lot guys, saved me at least 150 on a recone with shipping, and probably 400-500 bucks from not having to buy a replacement sub.
Only problem is I am ultra paranoid to crank it now, I'm not sure how long this fix will last, and it was kind of a pain to do it
