Will it cause a "snap" when bass hits hard. Not like its over eq, different. I played it with and without eq. It kinda sounds like a firm knuckle wrap on a plastic surface....?? When bass hits hard it sounds/feels great, just not all the time. Certain octaves sound excellent, others are a bit of a mess, some cause the "snap".
I have a feeling the wedge box is undersized.
How many mobile sub manufacturers produced blue anodized cones? Yea that should narrow it down so I can find parameters (not lol).
Looks like a decent made sub though, dual VC , it also has a thick stiff suspension. Only its lacking a sticker and a dust cap. I have no idea what it is.
I'm only assuming its a mobile sub, since it came in a compact carpet wedge box.
I don't need it but do want to see if I can make it run at optimum for the fun of it.
Thanks for any insight.

Guys guys! I was looking for an answer I have no use for speaker humour
Have a look - something's missing from your speaker
Speaker driver - Wikipedia
There is yellow ring of glue residue, that's where the dust cap was.
On other note, it looks like two voice coil woofer. How are you running it. Series or parallel?
Thanks for pointing out the obvious twice
Yes its missing the dust cap. Those are designed to keep out dust, yes dust
Series.
Im just wondering why this thing leaks, many caps are perforated fiberglass etc. I didnt know dust caps also acted as seals the whole system relies on. Seems like it would be a weak link.
In this case, the dust cap helps push cooling air through the motor pole piece vent. Your woofer could be making noise due to coil bottoming or rubbing, etc....
If you feed a driver too much, it makes noises The amount of power it can take will vary with frequency even in original condition.

I think its cam angle, by eye it looks fine.
I dropped it in a bigger sealed box its quiet, unless I push it really really hard.
I have black speaker goop. Where should I get an appropriate cap?
Parts Express may have what you need. Dust Caps in the Speaker Components Department at Parts Express | 327
