Hey guys, I'm not too expierenced with audio equipment and Im having a problem with my sub so I thought I'd ask for your help. I have an audiobahn 12w06 in an sealed enclosure and recently I've been noticing that when it hit, it rattles pretty bad.. I also noticed the lip of the woofer that kept it screwed to the enclosure, one of the screws broke from the neck. Im pretty sure this is not what's causing the rattling though, because it seems to be coming from inside the enclosure... Its still a couple months young and I really cant figure out whats causing this... or even if its normal... Any help would be much appreciated..

Sounds like something loose in the woofer motor assembly. Not uncommon for audiobahn as they are not known for quality construction. If it's under warranty take it back for a new one.

Its definately not normal. Sounds like the tinsle leads are slapping the cone of the sub, , or its partially blown.

Try to stay away from Audiobahn products if at all possible. All bling, and not good reliability.
