How did dust get behind the dust cap? How do bugs get inside sealed light fittings ? Maybe there was a houdini bug buzzing around your speaker ? Every time i pull something apart not find a fault but it works after reassembled , it bugs me . Well done , helpful
I know this is old but could be the spider has partially separated from the cone and the speaker is no longer moving straight in and out causing the rub especially in certain orientations due to gravity. Check the spider where it meets the cone.
I've used white lithium grease it's non conductive so It lubes up the coil I'm not sure the long term effects but I've used it on car subwoofers to limp them around but none of them were mine 😂
Next time that noise starts up, you can just remove the driver, then turn it over and smack the magnet real hard with the biggest hammer you can find. The sudden shock combined with gravity will knock the debris out of the slot in the motor and free up the voice coil and allow it to center itself. Don't worry about harming the magnet, it's very durable. However there is no problem if the magnet shatters into pieces because like you said- It's a piece of shit driver anyway. Then you can buy a real loud $5.00 Pyle sub-woofer to replace it as an upgrade mod that will impress your friends.
Wd 14? If you think of using wd 40 i wouldn't recommend it since it can damage plastic and make a mess, maybe it can lubricate for a bit but i wouldn't recommend it. Better solutions are the ones in the video or use silicone based lubricant.
I think I have the same problem with my z2300 satellite speaker as the high end frequencies I’m don’t really come through anymore as it is super old and there’s probably a bunch of dust and shit inside it, as the middle part is just a metal cone shaped piece and there isn’t anything protecting the voicecoil
I have a pair of 10 inch subs in my room, when I play low frequencies one speaker makes a clicking noise when I push down on the cone it makes a squeaking noise, it just started today.
