Bad Sub? (1 Viewer)

[JoeN]

I was watching Serenity over the weekend, and I noticed several times an awful rattle sound from my sub. I had not noticed this before........

I tried the "test tones" and did not get the same effect, but it may have been the depth of the base?

I am afrid I do not know a whole lot about subs...so any ideas would help...

Is there a volume control on the sub itself? If so does turning it down help the situation?

It does sound like some classic sub failure when high demand is put upon it.

 

[JoeN]

It does. I turned it down to see, and it did not appear to help. I have never noticed thsi before.....

It is possable something broke? Since I do not know a lot about how subs are made, I do not know what a broken one sounds like

What sub do you have?

My SVS PB12-Plus/2 sub had one of its drivers go bad during a scene in War of the Worlds. I had a rattling sound at almost any volume. Still on warranty, I was sent a new driver and it works like new again.
