how about the suspension on the sub. the oj or black thing underneath the sones. is it ripped away from the sub? near the the cone

bump does anyone know what this could be. its a crackling/popping. everything is fine and in place. i just moved it from the prefab to the box i built. i never had this problem in the old box. idk what the **** it could be but its very frustrating.
