question concerning my RE SE10

[mustangowner 10+ year member]

I was going through some of my audio equipment earlier, and i noticed something odd about my se....The picture below shows what seems to be the cone "buckling" or something like it. The line you see is a hump in the cone and the hump raises upwards if you run your finger from the center of the cone towards the surround.

I'm not sure what would cause this, but it doesn't seem to effect the sound any. I was running about 850 rms to it when it was taken out.

Could someone give me some ideas to what would cause this? It wasn't like this when i bought it new.

looks good to me. pressure may have caused it. the outer rim close to the surround is the part that is glued on.

I understand the pressure caused it....i guess what is confusing me is that, shouldnt the rise go the opposite way. Because if you think about it, the cone moves outward pulling away from the surround....but they way the cone is buckled it seems as if the sub is moving the opposite way that it should be moving....

does that make sense?

maybe it was wired out of phase?

the sub is fine. Dustcaps don't have anything to do with sound most of the time, they just protect the Gap from getting dirt in them.

I don't think so...i thought that myself, but im sure it was wired correctly.
