Using a sub with no dustcap

[fast85_gt]

yea it is as bad ideal becouse you have dust and dirt blowing all over dont do it it like a piston is in a a car if you get dirt in there it puts scratchs in there and you lose compresion same with a sub it becomes less eff. so yea bad ideal

I would put some tape over it so nothing gets in there.

really ? he folded the cone up too, because normally you still have your VC going into the magnet gap and not a whole lot of room for air to get through the gap. And the cone under the dustcap that came off wasnt moving either, or it was ported through a cone where the dustcap used to be, hmmmm.

get some glue and fix your BTL.

not if the motor has a pole vent //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

well I reglued the dustcap on and it still making the noise. Like something is hitting something else but I know for a fact that the isn't bottoming out, because it still makes the sound when the sub is barely moving and when I free air the sub too

prob dont have the cap glued down good enough, or didnt let it dry long enough if you didnt CA glue it.

I got two 6 inch dd carbon fiber dust caps. Id sell you 1 for $20 shipped. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif You will pay around $50 a piece from DD for them.

You also lose a ton of cooling - the air behind the dust cap is no longer being forced through your gap to cool the voice coil.

your coil is either rocking, or expanded by too much heat

or did it not make the noise w the dustcap off
