[QUOTE="AMPHEAD, post: 7478197, member: 636453"] I know its been a while since this was originally posted, but I came across a similar issue recently. The noise only occured when the bass got really kicking. Try this.....Take the speaker out of your box, and physically shake it. If you can hear something rattling around, then on to the next step. The rattling that occured in mine was an inner cardboard support inside the voice coil that had come loose. It was plastic/cardboard, 1/4 inch wide, and 1 inch long. This is not an ideal fix, but it does fix your problem. I took a drill bit about the same size as the vent on the back side of the speaker, (the hole in the center of the magnet) and I drilled a hole in the metal screen. I was then able to shake the cardboard piece through the hole. Be patient, because it has to hit the hole perfectly. I was lucky and it bounced out the first time I shook it. [/QUOTE]
