Problem with Dayton (300-630) Tiny Mighty (1 Viewer)

[Chad Sunderland]

Hi, I have a Dayton first-revision DLS (300-630)Tiny Mighty 10" subwoofer. I've had this sub for about 3 years now, and till now it has been trouble free.

Recently, the sub has a "scratchy" and "loose" sound to it. It is very apparent on loud, heavy bass. On quieter bass, you have to listen very closely to hear the distortion.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this sub to see if it is the speaker, or the amp that has gone bad?

Also, can anyone reccomend a replacement driver if it is the speaker that is the problem? Also, I am on a budget. Thanks!

It sounds like a problem with the driver, though the first thing you might check would be to tighten up all the screws and make sure nothing is loose.
