[QUOTE="realflow100, post: 8669149, member: 676243"] I somehow discovered they both have a crack in the center of the cone/dustcap and they were making an annoying squeaking sound when playing at high excursion levels and decided the best way to fix it would be to get a razer blade. cut out a circle in the center just a little bigger than the voice coil to get rid of the cracked part of the plastic. and then hot glue a small plastic bowl over the logo and hot glue seal it all the way around for both subwoofers It seems to be working but I don't know if the subwoofers will be fine in the long run if the bowls get loose should I just buy some dust caps from online and glue those on instead will they work fine with a hole in the original dust cap covered up by a new dustcap? they look a little strange with a bowl hot glued to the front covering the entire logo hiding it underneath but they havent popped off yet or anything the logo is 3D part of the actual dust cap/cone right in the center. part of it cut out since i wanted to get rid of the crack and theres a hole in the center slightly bigger than the dust cap. the actual paper cone material behind the dustcap is fine not damaged I dont think its ideal but it sounds better than before.
