DMC Time Windows 3 Intermittent Crackling

Thanks! I will definitely try that.

Any idea about taking the sock off? I found one post explaining that you could pop off the top, unscrew the bottom and then remove the sock on Time Windows 1, but not sure if that applies here.

Well, that was quite the adventure. Accidentally broke a wire loose from the circuit board taking them apart (putting them back together really) and just had my first ever session of circuit board soldering. A success, fortunately. 

Now another question for anyone who might know: without the sock on, the speaker actually looks quite different from the one posted above and from all images I can find online. 

Please forgive my utter lack of appropriate terminology but mine don't have the same tweeter speakers (I assume that's what I see in the photos) right below the main drivers. Also, mine have 2 airholes (no idea what they're called) on the same side about a 1/3 of the way up as opposed to their being on both sides and lower down in the ones pictured online. 

Here's a picture of mine: http://s18.postimg.org/m3kh3wfo9/DMC_Time_Windows_3.jpg

I don't have any specific question. Just a little perplexed. Anyone have any thoughts?

Never mind. I found my answer here: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/89-speakers/652191-whatever-happened-dcm-s-steve-eberbach-3.html

Great thread for all Time Windows questions if anyone stumbles across this in the future!
