Blown Factory Sub in Jaguar

[idorace]

I have a 2003 XJR Jag. with a factory 6x9 sub. in the rear deck. The cone is dry rotted and rattles galore. It is very difficult and takes many hours to remove and replace it. I decided to to install a 10" Bazooka (I had it already) in the trunk instead of replacing the factory sub. Everything turned out good, except the factory sub in the deck still rattles dew to Bazooka moving the air.

I was thinking about cutting out the cone of the factory sub. to get rid of the rattle. What do you think? Will I get more or less bass? Any other thoughts?

i dont know much about car audio but "I was thinking about cutting out the cone of the factory sub" seems retarded, even to me.

yeah if its blown go ahead and cut the cone out it aint doing no good rattling and its already not working right so what are you going to hurt

Yeah if it is rattling still its because of the sub you put in your trunk is moving air witch is making it move the easiest thing to do is take a razor blade and cut out the cone the best you can and it will fix your problem
