Can't close thread man.

I see that so I at least removed all the names of the parties involved I could. Best I could do.

Wanted to keep it confidential? Dunno why...so that other people are aware of the situation.

Because we aren't sure if they did it or the sub was reconed little off yet.

If I'm wrong don't want to have put their names out there for nothing If I am right you will all know. Gonna have to wait until I meet up with Popwar on Sunday to find out. Stay tuned.... LOL

Ah gotcha. Was going by your saying earlier, Mike that the recone wasn't the issue.

Here's a pic of what Popwar thinks it may be and hopefully he's right and hopefully I am an Idiot that jumped to conclusions as I have never seen this issue before and never saw any visual defects to my sub. In that case I owe a few people a Sincere apology and a free Dinner on me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif If it's not the case well I guess we will just see.

Looks to me like someone may have pooched gluing the surround down to the frame. Or the mounting hole has a bump in it. That part of your surround isn't "live" anyway and it's likely this would take years to fail if it would at all.

You can simply put your finger in there and see if you feel wood through the surround or if it's just the surround set on the frame a bit off.

*edit* if that sub isn't inverse mounted in the picture it's whoever glued the surround down. Once surround is glued to the frame it won't come off without an angle grinder so you're pretty much stuck with a dent in it if you do this while gluing it up.

I used photobucket lol it worked. In all fairness to me If I am wrong which I will definitely apologize here's why I said they were never reconed which I still do not know as I didn't see any signs but also didn't look that hard, Just took his word and did coil readings. Guy I bought them from here said they were "New unused signed by Mr Sundown himself" He wanted $750 I gave him $600. Here's his Ad it is still up on Craigslist..

I guess those 8 year old Chinese kids just don't build subs like they used to.

Subs are inverted so will have to open it up to find out.
