Subwoofer Rattling Sound... PLEASE READ

[jdeaton]

Okay about a month ago i put a 10" kicker cvr subwoofer wired at 2 ohms to a kicker zx300.1 amplifier in my truck. I initially had the gain on 11/11 with bass boost off... stupid i know. Anyways its been making a rattling sound coming from the subwoofer.... not distortion... rattling and its annoying the **** out of me. It only happens at 50% volume and happens at all gain levels (50% volume at 6/11... about 75% volume with gain at 4/11). I do not remember if it started rattling when i had the gain at 11/11 or when i turned it down (its at either 6 or 7 right now).
Any ideas? Could the sub be blown?
thanks a lot
EDIT: I just went outside to push the center of the cone in to see if it comes back and theres an air hissing sound when i push it in (this is a sealed box). It moved forward, but took a few seconds to do so. I also noticed that where the 8 screws screw into the box, some of the plastic on the inside of the screw holes is broken. Think its just a airleak? Didnt know an airleak could cause a loud rattling....

Loss of pressure.

Get some Liquid nails or Silicone adhesive and line the inside of the box. Also, the screw holes need some filler, for that I would use silicone. That way you can remove them later. Let it all dry overnight and then max out the next day.

If you still have a leak, it's back to the drawing board. Maybe can explore some other inexpensive repairs other than replacing the speaker.

well i replaced the sub and it fixed the problem ( i had a spare.... crutchfield buy one get one free). Crutchfield is even replacing it and paying return shipping!
