Hello Speakerplan-ers.
I have a subwoofer driver that has developed an irregular sound. As the driver reaches excursion, it makes what sounds like a drummer hitting a rim shot. I have posted an average video here (made with my phone....) - It would be great if anyone could perhaps tell me what the cause of this may be! I am hoping a re-cone may be able to cure it. Tanks a mill (it's St Pats day here....), cheers.

Sounds like the cone and the coil starting to separate. Not easy to repair. May need a full recone or replacement.

Thanks ceharden.
I can get a recone kit for about $100 NZD which is reasonable. I'll put it on the list of things to do.... Cheers

check it's not something simple like the dust cap coming loose or a little tear somewhere.
