I have a brahma mk IV that has been making a rattling noise when it would reach high excursion. Ive had the sub like this for almost a year but i took it out like 2 months ago after i posted this problem at soundillusions and they told me it could be tinsel lead slap. Well yesterday i took it out and the box and 1 of the tinsel leads was TORN . It is torn like 1/8th from were the terminal is soldered to the tinsel lead so you could say it snaped from the terminal basicly. My question is what should i do? is this something i could do? speaker shop? and my other question is , my sub is a dual 4 ohm and i would wire it parallel to achive a 2 ohm load from my amp, if the tinsel lead wire has snaped from one of voice coils(theres a pair dvc) is that supposed to affect a sub when it only runs on one of the voice coils?
