Hi All, I am new on here but have been into Hi-Fi/home cinema for over 20 years.
I bought a REL Q100e second hand 7 years ago, after many years of pleasurable use (maybe not for my neighbours!)the sponge on the outer edge of the 12" driver split, I tried a basic temporary fix but this is not adequate.
I contacted REL customer services and was very pleased to get a quick response, REL recommend the speaker below as the original driver is no longer in production.
audio-components.co.uk product id 4596
Being on a low budget I have tried to source a similar spec driver but with no luck so far.
Then another Q100E popped up on ebay locally, so I bought it!
When testing the new Q100E i have noticed that with some deep bass sounds I hear an annoying squeek, after reading on forums I believe this may be due to a sagging voice-coil.
I have tried a few tricks such as rotating the driver 180 degrees within the cabinet, but the squeek is still apparent now and again.
If anyone on here has had similar issues and can offer advice I would be greatly appreciative.
Looks like I may have to buy 2 new drivers, any advice on replacements?
