A freind of mine has this sub and it is making a crackling and popping sound now after 10 months use. Could this be a bad voice coil? It says 6 ohm in the specs. What would I use as a replacement? All I'm seeing out there is 4 and 8 Ohm speakers.
Sony SA-W3800 replacement speaker?

You cannot simply drop another driver into the box and expect similar performance, regardless of the impedance. Direct replacement of the driver or total replacement of the sub is necessary.
OTOH, crackling and popping is more likely indicative of an amplifier problem.
In addition, if this is not still under warranty, repairs are likely to be more than the current street price.
