Whats wrong with this sub?

if the pole piece is covered it can make some crazy noises.. put the sub on its side and see if that does anything...

how are you playing that in your room?

Its hooked up to a stereo.. I have my kenwood reciever, and then a pioneer radio hooked up to the sub output so it has a crossover. Thats besides the fact, i tried it in the car also. Does the same exact thing.

contact the person you bought them from and let him know what is going on. If he does nothing to try and fix this problem then you can go public with his information. If your doing nothing wrong and you just tested this sub and its f*cking up before you even got a chance to run them they had to have been f*cked before you bought them and the seller has to do something about it if he said they were working fine. Good luck and i hope everything works out. i hate to see stuff like this happen

Im not sure what to do with the situation tho, i mean what should i ask for? The deal is i traded my MINT dd 1508 subs plus cash for these. My subs were nearly brand new. I tested the subs free air on a small amp when we met up, i didnt turn the volume up enough to make the noise like i said. I never ran them, i dont even have an amp to power them. I only tested them free air, heard the noise, tried in a smaller box and the one sub still makes the noise. I havent had them long either, i got them and they sat in my room.

I did.. I tried it on its side also. Nothing. On another note, both subs seem to have a bit of air noise coming from the vents. Is that normal? I would assume once in the box you wont hear any of that noise but want to make sure.

ha, you have to buy another recone, have fun. might as well put all your power to the sub and turn the gain all the way up and see how loud one can get, might as well.. right?

O ok, it works pretty good. A plate amp would be sweet to have tho.

You have to have a hardware store or something, Ace Hardware? They sell DMMs too.

if you bought them local and tested them before you bought it's your fault

if it were me i wouldnt even consider a refund, who knows what you did after you left

i use this disclaimer on all my craigslist sales

try before you buy, but once it leaves my house no refunds

thats my story
