Yep, they each measure 1.5 or 1.6 ohms. (whew)

Hi All I've got 2 Avalanche 15" drivers, both of which I recently got from shipped from the US. I also recieved the EP2500 I'm going to be driving them with just a few days back. Im eventually going to be installing an IB sub for HT, but for now I'm going to build dual enclosures. Yesterday I hooked each of them up without enclosure, (haven't build them yet!) just to make sure they work. one works fine, but the other makes a "tapping" or "clicking" sound as it moves. the sound is like the sound it would make if you put your finger close enough to the cone that it hit it every cycle. I checked to make sure that the surround and dustcap are well attached and not "flapping" or anything, and checked each tinsel to make sure these arent the culprit. (IE they're firmly attached, and not hitting against the cone) When you push down on the cone, it makes a very faint creaking / rubbing sound. the other one is dead silent. The guy who shipped this one to me put in it a huge box with a ton of peanuts, and some got inside the magnet assembly, but i've cleared them out, and inspected the inside of the magnet with a mirror to see if theres any more in there, which there seems to be none. Anyone have any idea what this might be, and any way I can fix it? I'd hate to have to return this sub as they're very rare, and the shipping cost me almost as much as the sub itself! Thanks everyone for your help!!
