KICKER L7 magnet shifted??? wtf

[Ran4it2 10+ year member]

I have two 12" dual 4ohm kicker l7's only a few months old. I took them out of the box to put them in a new one. Put them in wired everything go to play them and one sounds messed up I thought it was the wiring but I started to push on the sub and the VC is like rubbing on the magnet. I think someone went into my shop from work and dropped one. Is there anyway to fix a shifted mag?? If so is it easily repairable? Can i fix it myself or should i send it in?

Would you happen to have pics so we can actually determine if it's a shifted mag or perhaps something else?

Most speakers will do that if you don't push down evenly on the cone...

Just because they don't look blown doesn't mean that something isn't wrong with them.

Get a DMM and check the resistance of both coils.
