I received an email from JC with a request from the engineer.

The boot has two pairs of binding posts and a wire to go to each side of the woofer. The positive polarity of the wire is indicated by the Axiom writing on the jacket of the cable. Connect one side of the woofer to the amp boot and check for sound, then repeat for the other side of the woofer connected to the other set of connections on the amp boot.

I performed these tests and the woofer is barely moving.
I have the woofer out of the enclosure facing the ceiling and when running 15hz to 80hz tests the woofer shakes very weakly.
The strange thing is, when the woofer is bolted into the enclosure it doesn't shake at all during these same tests.
Is it easier for the woofer to move when facing upward versus facing forward?
I also tested another sub cable just in case but the result is the same.

I'm no longer getting any audible response from the sub no matter how deep the bass is. No cracks, no flutter, no nothing...
I'm getting so frustrated with this sub and I almost wish it wasn't under warranty so that I could just replace it. mad

JC is going to get back to me after discussing my results with the Engineer.
