ICON 10 problems?

[poundindak69 15]

yesterday i took my box with my icon in it out of my car because i had a leak in the trunk and it ruined part of the box. and when i took out the icon out of the box i noticed that the bottom magnet had cracked all the way around it. is this something to be worried about? sub was in a box 1.35 cubes at 32hz pushed by a saz 1000d set at 1000 watts. and the sub is no more than 3 months old.

You got any pics?

On a side-note: Are you still interested in the Icon? I have quite a few others who are.

let me try to describe the crack it is horizontal with the magnet meaning it goes all the way around like the magnet, so it like split one into two. does that help?

This might seem like a silly question, but any chance it was dropped or set down hard before installation? I can't see how a magnet would crack inside an enclosure under normal usage, unless there was some drastic change in temperature due to the leak. If the driver has been playing fine and continues to do so, you should be fine.

no it hasn't been dropped, i have taken care of it since i got it, lol. me either , but ill contine to use it and see if anything goes wrong and ill report back.

ok so i jsut put the icon in another box and put it on my massivep1500.1 and on the high notes below like 100hz it sounds like its bottoming out kindof like a rattling thudd, and it looks as if it gets sucked in instead of pushed out, and i have switched the leads on the amp jsut to make sure the leads werent flipped

you can hear it right before the end, its alot clear in real life

also here are some pics of the crack

That is from being dropped, most likely from the shipping company. It may have just been a tiny crack when you put it into the enclosure for the first time and unnoticeable, but the vibrations tend to promulgate such things.

I can't really hear anything in the video. But since it only got worse when you put the sub back in, maybe the gasket didn't seal well to the box this time and you have an air leak.

oh ok cause i didnt notice a crack when i got it, and ill pull it out and make sure it gots a good seal on it.

That first image looks like an impact. Not saying at all you did it. But like KU40 said, it could have just been similar to a hair line crack on a windshield and due to vibration, it expanded quickly. Also, I forgot to ask, what ohm load are your showing that amp? I ask because if it is pushing close to its full 1500 watt ratting, that could be over driving the sub causing that sound you are hearing.

i ahve the sub wired at 4ohm so thats around 600 watts on it, and i get the sound even with the gain under what it should be at, thats why i asked

Humm, I wonder if the sound is the cracked magnet moving.

idk mayeb ill check that out also tonight

ok just got inside from doing some testing and im 100% positive its the magnet vibrating that i can hear so i guess that means it done for. good thing i just picked up a 12" icon

[poundindak69 15]

heres come pics of my quick and simple fix that didnt work, applied some epoxy to the crack and let it set for like 12 hours then installed it and it help with the rattling but as i played it more the rattling became worse over time.
