subwoofer rattling problem

[ckfordy]

Could it be the coils in the speaker got frayed?

what are those where are they located at and what would it sound like if they were frayed and are they fixable

The coils are at the tip of cone of the speaker. If they get all messed up, you are better of buying a new sub.

Whoever said they were a sound technician....you arent very technical. anyways take the sub out of the enclosure and look at the spider (the ridges, normally clothelike material, located beneath the cone that is attached to the motor) if that is torn in any way then the sub is definately blown. also take any rubber surrounds off the sub (if there is any) and check the basket for cracks. if the sub has cracks let me kno i can tell you a good way to fix it. A basket cracking means the sub was either dropped or it was not put in the enclosure correctly which could be the companies fault meaning you could get a new one free.
