[QUOTE="blinds, post: 6840912, member: 622531"] Recently my subs have been making a weird vibrating/rattling noise, as if the cone was hitting the side of the box, or the box is just vibrating against itself. I'm not sure what the problem is, but if you press against the ring around the cone it seems to contain it. It's only gotten worse, and now just pressing on the box anywhere makes it less noticeable, but it's so bad now it doesn't stop entirely. It happened after a five hour drive home from college, so I don't know if something may have been knocked loose or something, but its kind of hard to look inside the box, the only way I could is taking the subs out. I haven't changed any of the amp's settings at all, or any settings really. I've uploaded a video of it on YouTube; not the best video but you get the idea that its making a sound it shouldn't. And subs usually aren't that far up, just moved them up for the purpose of the video. I was considering taking one sub out at a time and playing it to see if just one of the subs was the problem, but I wanted to post on here before starting to take it apart. I've tried googling the problem, but honestly I don't know what to search. At first I thought it might be clipping, but now the box itself is just vibrating violently.
