Sub problems

[Fast1one 10+ year member]

I finished my install and fired my subs up.....4 assassin 8s. All sounded well until I noticed that one of the subs is making a slaping noise after a few minutes of play. Im guessing its either...

1. tinsel lead slapping which I doubt, because its too loud for that and none of the other woofers are doing it....

2. Dustcap loose. However it doesnt appear to be loose.

So my question is does the assassin have an inner dustcap that may have came loose? Can a leak on the main dustcap make a noise that loud?

Its a little annoying, but I cant really hear it in the cabin. My main concern is that I dont want any more permanent damage to happen to the sub.....Thanks in advance....

did you pull the sub out of the box and run it free air for a min and see if it still happens?

Actually thats the wierd part...it doesnt do it!!! (kinda of a ***** taking it out too lol) I then started to think if maybe the sub was wired out of phase, and it wasnt....didnt look like it either once i put the sub back in...

I thought about that but it just seemed so close to the sub...im going to take out again tommorow and free air it again....also check polarity if that makes a difference....
Maybe I just need sound deatning....Yes thats next //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Lol i thought of that too....I dont think so....I wired the box when it was outside....I put the crimps, wire, and crimpers away when i was done....after that I put the subs in and proceeded to take put the box in my car....Nothing else i can think of...
Plus the sound is isolated, so i doubt it is a loose object....
