Well, I started to hear a popping noise from my subwoofer. I just took out the driver and saw the glue that holds the spider to the cone has seperated. This sub has never been driven hard. I guess there wasn't a good seal from the factory. I posted in the tech forum and I am waiting for Ken to chime in.

Sorry...just had to vent.:o

    The good news is that it shouldn't be a very expensive fix. A new driver for my Velodyne was only $50.

    Was that for shipping? What sub is it for?

    Because thats an extremely cheap driver... because Companies mark it up 50%
