[QUOTE="SilverBullet6.0, post: 6634953, member: 617607"] I'm a subwoofer newbie. When I play it free air, what do I play? Music or test tones? And what do I look/listen for? How will I know what's wrong? I went back and re-set my gain with a DMM and turned my bass boost up between 3/8-1/2. I heard no rattle there. But after playing it awhile, the rattle showed up again. So, I turned the bass boost completely down. It's played fine like this for a few days, although it sounds pretty weak right now! Tonight the rattle came back with only the gain set correctly. So, I guess the sub's toast huh? I pulled it out of the box, and the tinsel leads looked fine, although they aren't very far from the cone. Everything else "looked" normal. Didn't smell/feel warm. But, I dont know what to look for? [/QUOTE]
