Use the soft side of the velcro and use a small piece as possible. -------------------- Sick Bastard Audio www.bordermotorsports.com Posts: 9081 | From: Linden, NC | Registered: Jan 2000  |  IP: Logged |  sundownz Senior Member Member # 7214 posted                        What kind of sub is it anyway? - Jacob -------------------- - Jacob Fuller Posts: 990 | From: Mooresville, NC | Registered: Oct 2001  |  IP: Logged |  unknown_element Senior Member Member # 9345 posted                        hart square. 12d2 or d4 i cant remember -------------------- People Army JoshHaeusser@Hotmail.com aim sn "flatlandquamen" Posts: 617 | From: ohio | Registered: May 2002  |  IP: Logged |  Thedrumming2ba Senior Member Member # 12044 posted                     I had the same problem on my comp.

Does it damage the cone, or is it the way it makes the sub sound? -------------------- 1998 Sterling Mist 5-Speed Nissan Maxima Alpine 7894 | RE 35.1D | Kicker ZX460 | 2 Kicker S12L7's | Kicker RS6 Resolution Components | 1/0 Wire | Lightning Audio Accessories Posts: 204 | From: Toronto, ON | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged |  panchrisp New Member Member # 11595 posted                    i does not hurt the sub but it makes a very annoying rattling sound because the wires are hitting the cone repeatedly. they hit the cone fast and hard if the cone is moving at a large excusion. plain and simple. it sounds bad.
