Tinsel Slap

[Tiger Bass]

I'm having problems with tinsel slap on the spider of my FiSSD 10".

What would be the best way of going about and fixing this?

Did a little bit of research already, but all the people I would care to hear from seem to frequent this forum more often.

[Pop Da Hatch]

better answer, is the felt pads that are installed on other woofers to solve this issue.....

try a little foam pad of some sort between cone and tinsels

There's a felt pad on the cone, but it seems to be slapping on the spider.

Did you free-air test it? If you did and noticed the slap firsthand then that rules out air leaks so....

Either the box is too big, the tinsel leads are too long or the driver is reaching over excursion from too much powa.

We tested it free-air, and my box was teeny. It was ~0.8 cu in. And yes, noticed it first hand. If I held the tinsel, it would stop making the noise.

It was handling high amounts of power like a champ on the low notes 20-30hz. But as soon as we got the cone moving real fast, around 40-50hz, it started slapping at a fraction of the power it was being given at the lower notes.
