Silver Member Username: FishyTamarac, FL USA Post Number: 292 Registered: Sep-04 | Yeah sounds like its either bottoming out(past Xmech) or maybe "rubbing" due to voice coil misallignment. Are brahma's particularly susceptible to tinsel lead slap or whatever thats called? :P Jonathan? -Fishy |

Anonymous | from what you say, i think my sub is "rubbing"...cause i watched a vid of an brahma and it was moving more than mine...and in the vid i didnt hear the tapping that my sub makes... what should i do? send it back to Adire??? |

Surrounds problems, cone failure due to design or manufacture, of course the occasional burnt voice coil b/c of misuse. These don't happen very often, but happen nonetheless, surround being the most common. They don't seem to have as many problems w/ voice coil misalignment as some others, but they also don't have as tight of a gap as other comparable subs, and are also a long gap, long voice coil design. I like the X.X.X. better than the Brahma as well. Stronger cone, more motor, more excursion, I actually like the SQ a little better. |
