you let the magik smoke out of the speaker. Electronics runs on smoke the same way your car runs on gas with the only difference being that it can be VERY hard to get it back in.

Actually, the magnet glue probably finally let go and the magnet moved, shifted the voice coil gap and pinched the coil. Take it apart and see, I did a write up in the how to section on how I fixed a pair of pg 8's. I was told it was not going to realign well enough, but I've had no issues with them since I did it. It can't hurt to remove the dust cap and check. You can always buy a re cone kit and fix it either way.

Later,
