Re: My sub goes "tock" when it should go "thud"


There is a very tiny gap between the voice coil and the magnet surrounding it. If the voice coil gets deformed in any way (melting, bottoming) it rubs against the magnet. That is the scratching/resistance you feel.

Does the 'normal' woofer also share this resistance or is it unique?
