Are my DD's damaged?

[DangerDane911 0]

Friend of mine gave me 2 locked up 9515's to pay off a $250 debt he owed me. I ordered 2 recone kits as my friend says he could rebuild them. I gave them to hit, he reconed them, and they play. Well, one speaker makes a crackling noise at low volumes through it's whole range. At low volumes I can only hear it on very low notes and at higher notes. Did he do a poor job at reconing it? Is it something I did? Are the magnets misaligned? The other speaker is barely audible, I'm thinking that one might be a wiring issue. Any other info needed, just let me know.

could be a few things,

somthing inside the coil gap like if it was not cleaned , the coil not being align inside the gap would cause it to rub the motor .. or a lose dust cap... with out hearing the sound its hard to say..

also things you mentioned can be aswell.

if you have 1 sub that is hardly playing you need to take care of the wiring issue first.

Sounds like wiring
