ok I ordered 2 SA-15's d4s from woofer-etc just recieved them today and one of them makes a horrible sound. it sounds like the voice coil is rubbing on the wall of the motor or the post. almost like the cone isn't inline right. i contacted woofers-etc just now but wondering what your take is on it or if anyone else knows what it is or if it can be fixed and not shipped back...?

sounds like coil rub, could just be a factory defect.

Probably is just a factory screw up... Im sure they will take care of it...

thats what I figured

99% likely it's not a factory defect as we still test all the subs that go to WoofersEtc just like we test them that go everywhere else -- it may have been knocked around enough to shift the motor. In any event -- we can check it out and replace it if necessary.

PS: E-mailing us is alot better way to ask this type of question.

i would also check out the dust cap could have came loose a lil and that makes alot of noise.

if the top plate has shifted you will see it is off set, take a peek..

played them a lil bit more and the one sounds fine now. idk wtf the deal is. whatever thanks everyone for the input.

so I took out the one that was making noise and it looked like something was stuck between the coil and the motor. slight scratch on the coil...
