Sub clicking. Ideas?

[Silica 10+ year member]

My 15" RE HC has been used for about 2 months or so relatively new.. i have 2 of them one of which is making a clicking noise not loud just noticeable ( this is without volume just pushing cone down)

Now when you push the cone in or down and let it release back to its natural position, there is no click nothing, it will only click if you push the cone down then pull it out or towards you past its natural position, it just sounds like a click from a pen, nothing more, as soon as it passes the natural position line it makes a pen click once,

Im not sure if this is bad or not? It only seen 600rms... So lol its pretty underpowered but then again no subsonic filter and a large ported box prolly doesn't help either...

As well on another note, the sub operates like it was brand new, doesn't distort make any funny noises when running, it is totally fine. Other than the click.

Ideas?

I one time had a 12" sub that did the same thing, I noticed that where the spider was attached to the cone the adhesive had become brittle and cracked, and when you pushed on the cone, it would make a clicking sound. It was definitely audible though when I had it playing with volume. Check the suspension of your sub to make sure it is all tight and dandy. Good luck.
