Posted April 26, 20169 yr Just threw two x18 v.2s in my Yukon in a 15 cu ft box on an SCV4000. Very impressive, but I developed coil rub after just a month. It's really strange because there is no felt rub when you press down on the cone.. Actually, it only rubs when the coil is cold. After I pump one second of true RMS to it, there is magically no rub.. The other sub is fine. I monitor the clipping light religiously and the only time I see a red flash is on the attack peak of bass notes. From what I have researched, a slightly flashing clipping light is pretty normal and a fast flashing light is slightly overpowered. Solid red is clipping. \ As far as I can tell the sub is fine when played at loud volumes and only makes the VC running sound again when the sub is cold. I went ahead and ordered another sub just to have one on deck and am sending this one in for them to check out and hopefully warranty since its only a month old. Hopefully it just needs to be shimmed or something. Anyone ever seen a sub only have coil rub when its cold with no felt coil rub in the cone? Thanks! Edited April 26, 20169 yr by DirtySouthWookie
August 18, 20169 yr Welcome to SSA! I have never had the issue with the cold effecting the coil, and live somewhere that gets pretty cold.
August 18, 20169 yr Sounds like you may have got a sub that slipped by quality control. But Jacob at sundown is one of the better owners so I would almost guarantee he will make it right and fix it or send you another. I have heard of him upgrading people with bigger newer amps for nothing so how many company's you hear of doing something like that. I have had nothing but good luck with my sundown team 12's.
