[QUOTE="pensacol, post: 2893898, member: 575946"] I have been doing car audio for years and have never seen this. Let me start by saying 1 week ago I bought 2 JL Audio 8W1-8's in a JL Audio box with a JL Audio 250/1 mono amplifier. These speakers have been sitting for some time. I hooked everything up and they knocked real hard. The other day I opened the trunk and saw one of them was not moving. I removed the sub to find out that it is locked up. It won't move but maybe 1 cm and that's with force. The part that get's me is that most of the time if one blows this bad, it will smell burnt, but this one doesn't. It has no smell at all. What I did notice is the box is filled with polyfill, and there is a lot of it wrapped around the cone where it connects to the spider. Could this have gotten into the the voice coil in the woofer and caused it to lock up? If so how would I go about cleaning it out? I don't mind removing the dust cover. The reason I am asking is I love these subs. The are AWESOME! and I cannot find another one anywhere on the internet. So if possible I would like to fix it. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
