I'm looking at a pair of OLAs my friend refoamed and one of the woofers has something off.
When playing normally, one speaker has a barking distorted sound that actually worsens as you lower the volume.
If you apply a bit of pressure to the cone, it cleans up and sounds great.
If you flex the cone without any music playing you do not hear any rubbing.
If you gently tap the cone, you can hear a vibration at roughly the same frequency as the barking.
I've swapped woofers, rotated them 180° and made sure nothing inside the cab is rubbing the backside of the cone.
My guess is a bad refoam but wanted to throw it out there for confirmation and to see if there was a likely area that was the problem.
These are the first OLAs I've heard and they sound like they have the potential to be really nice.
Thanks as always.
