Rattle in my p2's. what gives?

So i was testing out my Fosgate p2-8's, i just hooked them to a small amp and ran them free air with some music. They have a litttle bit of rattle on certain frequencies that sounds a lot like coil rub. One thing i noticed is these have super stiff suspension.

I checked all the coils with my dimm and they read 3.8ohm d.c. they are d4 coils

I put my ear to the vented part on the magnet and i don't hear any rattle from there, the tinsel leads are in between the spiders so i cant see anything wrong there, the spiders look fine, the speakers smell brand new and i don't feel any rub when i move them by hand.

It also seems like maybe it's going away a bit.I tried to push them a bit since i was just testing at low volume.

So, what gives, could it be the basket or something? I can put up a video if you want but it will take a minute.

What are the subs on? Sometimes they will rattle and jump around if they are on a solid surface. Pick it up and hold it while you free air and see if it still does it

ok ok ok, i am an idiot. lol i figured it out, it's just the push connectors for the speaker wires. I only had one coil hooked up and the others where vibrating. /facepalm.
