rattling in my sub?

[Kristy707]

ok, i just got 2 new subs in my car. best buy installed them and this was just today. i know i didnt blow them because i didnt have them up, and nothing punctured them, but for some reason one of the subs is making a rattle noise. any ideas?

What brand are they. How are they installed? What kind of box? No offense but I would try to get a refund from them and spend the same money on higher quality stuff online.

It could also be the car itself rattling from the Sub. Most of the time it is the rear deck rattling as well as the lisence plate. Also try to locate the sound of the rattle and fix it using raammat/eDead /dynamat.

Best Buy installed it, that could be a big problem right there.

id take the sub outa the car and try playing it. just extend the wire lead so it will sit on the ground. make sure it is the speakers. if it still does it and its coming from the speaker box, take it back.

best buy has some good prices on alot of items, but theyre not known for having the best installation policies

well everything i have is kenwood (i didnt buy it) and the rattling is in the speakers and i have a warranty and they said theyll either fix it or replace it, i was just wondering what it could be.

probly the coil, possibly a factory defect unless you got a used one installed

no everything was brand new, but im finding out next week whats going on.

rattling happens with most cars/trucks. go get some dynamat. its simple to install. just peel and stick. its an adhesive. if you cant afford dynamat go to a home depot or lowes hardware and get peel n seal its the same stuff just another brand.

dynamat

its not the car. i took the subs out and placed them on the ground, its one of the subs.

you might as well just go straight to Home Depot, why waste the money for a name brand if theyre both the same stuff

are they dual voice coil subs if so 1 of the coil could be blown the speaker will still work but it will have a rattle to it

Kenwood sub are very cheap, change em out to something else, Im sure you bought at a chain store, so go with Alpine type R'r or Infinity Alum pros
