They sounded just fine and moved freely before taking them out. The cones are much looser than the brand new 15's I put in there. They have very little play. Voice coil is definitely rubbing on magnet. Hooked it back up, at lower volume, and get no bass at all, and very quiet mid bass. So the cone isnt really moving like it should.
I actually dont think the frame is torqued, I probably pushed on the cone while removing, and off centered it enough.
