[pinoywitboom 10+ year member]

k well today when i was out cruizin slammin my sounds as normal all of a sudden my mono amp goes into protect and shuts off, so i turn off my deck and repower it then tried slamming it again but it shuts off again. when i get home i took a close listen to the subs and one of them was making a rattling sound. i take it outta the box and it looks fine cone still intact and still moves and all but the rattline seems to be coming from inside the speaker engine. it doesnt move though when being poewred only rattles a bit. is my sub blown? what could this rattling be?

Two things come to mind, the tinsel lead is slapping the spider, or the voice coil(s) are rubbing due to misalignment.

push down on the cone it should move up and down smoothly and also measure the vc see if it reads what it supose to

possible, but dont know how you would be able to fix the mechanical error w/out getting it reconed?

Do you hear a scratchy sound when you push the cone in?
