What are your driving it with? If it is buzzing, you have probably come close to clipping your amp and heated (expanded) the voice coil slightly, and now you get a rubbing, scratching sound?

Have you troubleshot at all? Swap left and right, listen and reasonable levels, with no loudness contouring, tone controls, or DSP's engaged and report back. What do you generally listen to, music or movies? If movies, how do you have your bass management setup, ie large / small and crossover point?

Cheers,

nope its just that speaker i swithed and it does it at reasonable listeing levels music its bearly noticable but on games such as battle field and movies like paranormal activaty 2 and kung fu panda it gets real chippy and starts to rattle as if the cone was loose?! aww and i have them set to small and crossover is set to 80hz
