[QUOTE="asr10 user, post: 7628838, member: 613726"] Basically I bought a 13w7 5-6 years ago. I used it in my car, sold the car, then let it sit for about 3 years in my garage. Now im building a home theater system and wanted to use the W7 for the sub. I removed the w7 from the box today to see how it was wired and connected it to my Onkyo AVR to to hear it. The sub sounds blown. I hear all types of movement and only when I hold the cone down does it sound clean. How the hell is this possible! I bought it maybe 5-6 years ago, used it in my car for about 2-3 years, never played it super loud, used a JL Audio 1000/1 amp, and when I put it away the last time it was still working fine. It has been doing nothing but sitting in my garage for about 3 years. Is it possible weather got to it? I saw some mold on the box itself, but did that get to the sub? Could a drop of the box caused the voice coil damage? Those are the only two bad things I can think of that might have affected it. Its just been sitting there. I dont remember if the box was actually dropped, but it is a 150lb box and maybe someone dropped it, but I dont think so. Physically the sub looks fine, no signs of weather. Could the Onkyo just be giving it crappy signal? Any definitive way to find out of its ok? SHOOT! [/QUOTE]
