Problem with MT

I have had the sub for about 2 weeks now, when I first plugged it up worked fine, Now after I glassed the baffle on the inside, it's making a strange noise when I turn up the volume, but at lower volumes its fine.

Box is straight, the sub is not, even when I ran it free air.

I know that noise, back in the day that would mean bungie-cord time.

When I took it out of the box,I went to put it down and I tirpped, and it hit the pourch a little harder than I wanted but I didn't flat out drop it.

its sounds like 1 of 2 things..

dustcap, or former cap (if it has one) shifted loose, and is now rattling..

or the motor shifted, causing coil rob..

If the motor is shifted....then no. Has to be reconed, and have the motor re-aligned on the basket.
