Posted June 10, 201114 yr im running 2 sa-8s in 1.2 cubes off of a saz-1000d. i noticed there is a tear starting between the spider and cone on one of them. this sa-8 is about a month or 2 old. is this covered under warranty or do i need to get a new one?
June 10, 201114 yr Is the sub no longer performing well ?Occasionally there may be excess glue that pulls off of the inner-most spider roll that is not actually a tear of any kind.
June 11, 201114 yr Author well i was getting a buzzing noise from the sub and thats when i looked and noticed the tear. i put some of that 5min epoxy on the part that looked torn a while ago and its performing fine now but im still getting a slight buzzing from that one sub. i have another sa-8 at home ill switch it out with but right now im in nj visiting my wifes family and going down to tn next week to visit my family so itll be a while, but when i get home and pull it out and get a chance to look at it ill post it up if i can find anything. Besides this though i love how well these little things can perform.
June 11, 201114 yr Author after listening to it a while it seems to be performing slightly worse than normal and the buzzing is more noticable at higher frequencies than lower ones.
June 11, 201114 yr If the excess glue peels off the inside roll but doesn't come off it can buzz a bit as the sides rub together -- we can check it out for you if you like.
June 11, 201114 yr Author well i looked at it tried to make sure the ripped looking area was glued again and i played it for a bit and now the buzzing seems to have gone mostly away. ill be back home in about a week so ill change it out with the other one and send it to you guys if im still having problems with it. for all the help though!
