My 9512g is making weird noises??

[Vwbuskid 10+ year member]

I just wired it up to test it, at 4ohm.

It has a carbon fiber cone and dust cap (the ones in my sig). It makes a rattling noise when it hits higher frequencies, normal?

Or is there something wrong? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

are they recones?

Not as far as i know, I bought them from Eagle on ROE. So yes, they were used.

The noise reminds me of loose carbon fiber on the inside of the cone.

i know its taken me a while to test them out, fail on my part.

Any other suggestions of what you think it may be?

Kind of afraid to pull the cap off....

Not quite that bad, but its also in a box, free air it may sound exactly the same.

I'll take a video of it tomorrow, i would right now, but my neighbors will call the cops on me again.

I'd rather avoid dealing with them again.

if it is rattling, your going to need to recone anyways, pull the dust cap and see if there is anything loose in there. I say this because I had the same issue with a 9512g it was part of the resin was peeling off the bottom of the Dust cap
