this problem, known as tinsel slap, is generally resolved by not over-driving your sub. any strange noises - most especially if you have a brahma - coming from your sub tell you that you need to turn it down right away. many subs use tinsels woven into the spider as a resolution to this, so look in to subs that do that if it bothers you. but it shouldnt make abnormal noise in any case.

you can only hear it if your trunk is open.inside the car you cant hear it.it sounds fine in the car its just when you open the trunk and play it it make the sound.its a polk audio gnx 104 10 inch in a sealed box

no, it's not a problem then. if you haven't broken your subs yet, you probably won't anytime soon :).

ok cool thx man.i was hopin it wouldent screw the sub up

[neomagus00]

nah, it's probably been doing it since the beginning. or have you listened before and just noticed it - ie is it something that you know for sure is a new issue?

[startzy]

no its done it for a while and i dident think anything of it but my buddy said ah sounds like your wire is hittin the cone.but i guess if it dident do anything yet it probably wont

i have 2 gnx104's, and ive noticed a slightly weird sound coming out of them also, but its only when the volume is really high, with the right frequency, so just turn it down a bit and its gone

im gettin a new amp that has more options and it should sound fine then.just cant wait to get 3 baby momos
