Subs make tinny noise

mercsable Bronze Member Username: Mercsable Post Number: 31 Registered: Apr-06	Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 19:48 GMT my subs are making a tinny noise everytime the bass hits, my guess is, since theyre dvc, that the jumper inside is moving around and is getting hit by the sub everytime it moves. could this be it or are there other ideas?

For further enlightenment, check sealed in the dictionary. If you have lead slap.....glue a small swath of box carpet/felt/wtfe to the backside of the cone where the leads would hit.

Most likely tinsel lead slap. If the tinsel wires are too tight, they could pull out during extreme excursion, and then it sounds like your tapping on a tin can.
