kilomax 18 making noise


I am using a kilomax 18" in a 12.5 cuft box tuned to 25hZ.
I hooked it up to an amp driven by a PC program that generate sinewaves via a sound card. At low volume and at around 25 hZ, I
heard some noise coming from the voice coil intermittenly, sounds like the coil is rubbing or something. This is a brand new
part. Could it be a defect? or is the Kilomax 18 known to do this
at this frequency due to the use of the external heat sink for the voice coil?
