 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? |
Nope. The one that is running has a nice deep resonant sound (thud) when tapped and moves smoothly and without resistance. The "bad" one sounds like it is slapping on something and does not move freely - it feels grainy.
I hope the vendor I bought this from can fix or replace this for me. The problem was immediate.
