Loose cone on a sub

[Andyman]

The cone on my JL Audio sub makes a tapping noise. Ive had to turn the amp right down but then the things useless and still taps when the volume is cranked up.

If i push the cone in slightly when its tapping it stops it.

Can the cone be tightend up, glued etc or is it new sub time ??

There is a long thread in which I answered this once before, not without some controversy I must say, but its up to you who you believe, suffice to say I was in the industry for 20 years, have a read...

cheers for that m8 il have a close read in a bit.

just had another look at the Sub and the centre cone bit has come away from the outer casing so its ''blowing'' when the base comes in on a song.

Gonna have a crack at gluing it but failing that il have to bin it

If you mean the little round bit in the centre of the sub mine came away and as a result distorted the sound. Rip it of and use some superglue, no more nails etc that fixed it for me!
