Subwoofer "rattle" ???

[chezwez123]

Hi guys, recently tried out a new setup, basically i have an 800w sub in a box in the boot, and today i removed the parcel shelf and put the 6x9's in the box also so its like o O o (6x9-sub-6x9) however since then, I have noticed at high volume there is a rattle coming from the sub as if it is loose, although it is not...any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks.

Turn it down ?!

Turn it down ?!

That is not an option!!!

Buy a car which doesn't rattle BEFORE you put a noisebox in the boot.

edit: Just seen that you've somehow for some reason put 6x9s and a sub in the same box !? Am I reading that correctly !?

WTF ????!

yeah, guys from college dare/persuasion, said it would look minted and to be honest is does! Even got some neons and stuff around it and it looks awesome, works well to quite a high volume, but at high volume not sure where the rattle is coming from...

Oh dear.

that will sound like s**t and damage the 6x9s. I imagine the rattle is probably the magnet off either the sub or 6x9s has come unstuck, only when a deep bass tone is on by chance?

or the voice coil former has been damaged

everything works fine up to around 75% volume, then it is hardly noticeable unless you open the boot but there is a rattle on every beat at high volume, as if there is a tyre iron inside the box rattling slightly..

If you add more neon im pretty sure you'll be able to crank that bad boy all the way up to 100% maybe even further.

Thats exactly what I thought!! Surely if it looks good it must sound good! Right? ...

Fair play all jokes aside problems suck, if you whack you sub box and it doesnt rattle i would suggest you've toasted the sub (voice coil) which would mean new sub time. If it does rattle then clearly something is loose.

Will do, thanks! Any ideas about insulating the box as a few people have suggested this to me? Not really sure what materials to use..
