Is my subwoofer toast?

Started doing this the other day. No idea where to go from here. Very amatuer.

Disconnect the RCAs and sweep the gain to see if it still does it. If yes, then the amp has issues. If no, connect your phone to it via 3.5mm to RCA adapter and test it.

That's clever - didn't even think to plug my phone directly in. Damn. Glad I posted here, glad you replied. Thanks!

Not like there's an owners manual or Google or anything. Thank God for this place. Lmfao

I've been googling "subwoofer flapping sound", "subwoofer rattling sound" etc. Not much came up - maybe I'm using the wrong terms?

The manual doesn't have much info either - https://assets.fusionentertainment.com/products/downloads/EN-AB1102_EN-AB1122_MANUAL_Print_Ready.pdf

Not sure what you'd rather I do?

Again - you're a godsend.

Nothing happens when I sweep the gain with no input, so seems the actual sub is ok.

Furthermore when I plug the phone straight in, it sounds great. So the issue must be my shitty high level input wiring.

I'll see if I can fix that.

Thanks!!!

Yes do not listen to @Slo_Ride. He is the only intelligent person here and we wouldn't want any of that to rub off on anyone.
