KenC210 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 So i have an issue with one of my subs. When it hits some notes i will get a rattle sound from inside the box as if something us vibrating inside. I think it may be the plastic cover over the magnet but im not sure. Any other suggestions? If it is the plastic cover what would i be able to do to stop it from vibrating? Much thanks for support in advance.

412 CVX Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 take it out and see if anything is loose Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

Landon75 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 What kind of sub is it cause my hifonics had some stupid plastic magnet cover that did the same thing I just pried it off at didnt hear it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenC210 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 possibly just the speaker wire I thought that was the case also but i have the same length speaker wire for both subs. The box has 2 15's each with its own chamber. take it out and see if anything is loose I did that also and could seem to see anything loose tried shaking it also, i do get a small rattle but its from the terminals. I dont think it could be those vibrating, but a possibility. I use 12ga speaker wire so they are nice and tight when the speaker wire is in. What kind of sub is it cause my hifonics had some stupid plastic magnet cover that did the same thing I just pried it off at didnt hear it again They are some cheap sound storm subs.

STEvil Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 separate chambers? sealed box or ported? If its sealed it might be loose screws or poorly sealed, or could be the box is flexing and hitting against something under/beside/on top/etc.. Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

If its sealed it might be loose screws or poorly sealed, or could be the box is flexing and hitting against something under/beside/on top/etc.. Yea separate chambers and its ported. I cant see it flexing to much i have around 500wrms to each sub, i used a dmm to see how much voltage the amps is putting and did the calculations. I have my H/U that has a sub gain set at -20 and the amps are zx1000.1 2011 model and the gain there is barely at the first hash mark. Once i get that dd-1 i will be setting everything properly. Just waiting to get the christmas shopping out the way.
