[QUOTE="jdeaton, post: 3073015, member: 576050"] Okay about a month ago i put a 10" kicker cvr subwoofer wired at 2 ohms to a kicker zx300.1 amplifier in my truck. I initially had the gain on 11/11 with bass boost off... stupid i know. Anyways its been making a rattling sound coming from the subwoofer.... not distortion... rattling and its annoying the shit out of me. It only happens at 50% volume and happens at all gain levels (50% volume at 6/11... about 75% volume with gain at 4/11). I do not remember if it started rattling when i had the gain at 11/11 or when i turned it down (its at either 6 or 7 right now). Any ideas? Could the sub be blown? [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif[/IMG] thanks a lot EDIT: I just went outside to push the center of the cone in to see if it comes back and theres an air hissing sound when i push it in (this is a sealed box). It moved forward, but took a few seconds to do so. I also noticed that where the 8 screws screw into the box, some of the plastic on the inside of the screw holes is broken. Think its just a airleak?
