Hi All,
I have a very odd issue and I know this is the best place to ask, hopefully I'm not alone!
3-4 times a year I start getting woofer "ringing" on one of my woofers, a "warbling" distortion in male vocals, it's been happening for years on (I think) all four Seas 5" woofers, gently pressing all of the way around the woofers rubber surround (with white gloves on) fixes it till next time.
Anyone seen this, could it be aging rubber, a stiffness, maybe its drying out (the speakers are 13 years old), any thoughts on "lubing" the rubber, I'm in Sydney and the room can get very hot in the height of summer, like around 35°C (if we are out)?
Thanks for looking.
Cheers
Richard

What model driver? Pictures of the speakers in question? Maybe post a sound clip if you can catch it happening?
Could be some deterioration of the surround bond to the cone or the surround itself. Usually heat and humidity will accelerate the process. Only way to start figuring it out is to pull the drivers and measure them, but also run some sine wave sweeps and listen.
