Rattle?

[kfx450r 10+ year member]

just finished box, and im hearing a rattle ..kinda like a wire rapidly hitting the side of the box on the inside..but thats not the case as i just redid the wiring and its nice and tight inside and didnt affect the problem at all. I only hear it when it hits the low notes really and crank up the volume, could it be tinsel slap? There not woven but nothings broken etc.

Also found a small air leak in my port, lots of air coming out of it but hardly any air coming out of the port itself, sealed it up waiting for the sealant to dry..

Also, its more dominant if i put my ear to 1 side of the sub than the other..(1 side is SLIGHTLY closer to the port aswell)

Wood not slapping used tight bond..and use a whole bottle and the box is only 1.2 cubes gross..I even slathered it on the outside where all the wood met as i was bored and had time while it was drying.. I guess that 1 peice just came loose orsomething. No wood slap its only a little 8 lol. Hopefully that air leak i found in the port helps but im confident it wont eliminate the problem completely..i cant tell 100% but it sounds like the sound is coming from the sub more than the port. Only explanation i can think of is tinsel slap but its really loud and annoying when at med-high volume on low notes, so im sure someone else wouldve noted this.

EDIT: Nevermind think i found it..for some reason 1 side of the sub has a small air leak..no idea how it could be uneven but it is, god the noise is SO loud is overpowers the sub, ill seal it up and see wut happens. So pissed, only silicone i have is white..Black box black sub..white ring around it..Lol but w/e i think this will fix the prob surely.
