I've had them for a while. i was just beating on them the other day and opened my trunk to get something and could hear a funny sound. i don't think its the coil. I've had a few come apart and thats not the sound. the coil still reads 2.4 i was wondering if it was a second dust cap under the carbon fiber one. the speaker still plays exactly the same minus the sound

and are the new version the ts w1208's any better than these?

I dont think there is a second dustcap, just one.

can you hear it when the trunk is closed?

No there isn't a second dustcap...

Could be a plethora of things... Tinsel lead slap, coil misaligned, bottoming out, Loose spider, box, something trapped behind the dustcap...

The glue on the dustcap might not be holding up. I had an old armageddon that was like that. They were known for the bad glue though.. I would check the leads and try and push down around the outside of the cap and see if it sounds ok for a few secs..

*as in push down around the outsides and turn it on without holding it
