My subs been "rattling" for a bit and finally went back there to listen to it and it sounds like this:

Obviously it was playing at low volume, and I held the cam so close because I wasn't sure if my phone could pick it up as well as it did lol. Does it need a re-cone already or what? Ive had it for about a month, maybe less.

Sounds like the dustcap has a loose glue joint.

[yitzac1990 1]

is that something easily fixable, or would I be better off sending it back to Fi and paying them to fix it or something? how can I tell for sure thats it?

look around the dustcap...if it is the dustcap just some glue should fix it...

yeah i pushed the cone of the sub down lightly and didnt notice anything off. Ill go look again, but i dont think the cone is coming unglued.

Or should i take it out of the box and look under the cap?

this is what it looks like:

what do you guys recommend to fix this?

[Duran 387]

Epoxy under there should hold it.

[yitzac1990 1]

Any specific brands or types?

Just get any 5 or 10 minute epoxy.

LocTight or similar. Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, auto parts store, you get the idea.

What sub do you have?

Also, box size and tuning if ported.

Usually under normal coniditions dustcap glue joints rarely fail.

Just want to try and help to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Also, I recommend 5-10 min epoxy also. I usually buy clear Permatex(brand name), this can be found at almost anywhere.

Color doesn't matter, but for a dustcap, clear would be best.

Just make sure you don't get confused with "ton" type epoxy. This is not the same, and doesn't work near as well. Example, 2ton. Stay away from it. Stick with min.

Thanks for all the help. Its a 12" Fi BTL. Box is built exactly to Fi's cut sheets tuned to 32 hz. Didn't think this would happen to an Fi...
