Sub rattle

[luvofmusic 0]

I have a powerbass xs15d2 and I've been hearing a rattle. So I inspect the sub and the basket is loose from the upper plate. This would be a defect not user error correct? Also the sub still plays fine and don't rattle while playing music parked but only rattles when I hit a bump or dip in the road. Should I use it till it get replaced? Any suggestion are appreciated.

Definetly get it fixed or replaced.

So would that be a defect or user error?

Could be both.

I would contact PB about it though if you already havent

if it is one of the early v.2 PB had a glue issue. If it is one of the older all black basket ones, I would think you are WAY over extending the sub. I would give PB a call. Also if you wanna fix it yourself (if you get no where with PB) I use "Automotive Amazing Goop" you can find it at Andy's true Value. It is in a red tube & comes out clear. It gives about 1 min of adjustment time before it sets, then is totally set after about 24 hours. But yeah, FIX it before you play it any more. Because what you hear rattling is the Voice Coil on the pole peice!!

That's user error, you haven't fixed it yet. I'd get out the glue before listening to it anymore...

Yeah it is a v2. I'm in the process of getting it taken care of so I already took it out and boxed it up. Thanks for the replies.
