the only problem i have with Cerafine. is. i would have to source them from ebay. and then the question comes to play whether or not i am getting Genuine Caps. i might just stick to the Silmic II unless theres a place i could get the Cerafine thats a know place- DaddioJ

the humming I have is from the sub alone. if I remove the Coil. no more hum. I tried to isolate with rubber but still seems to want to hum. only replacement might be the cure. for a better quality coil. also is it possible for the coil humming connected with pop when using fans or lights?- DaddioJ
