Diagnose and Fix Subwoofer Rattle

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2018
- Fixing a subwoofer with rattling sound whenever there is explosion, rumble, thunder, or any low frequency sound -- this video is a recorded diagnosis and repair I did on my subwoofer. The rattle definitely ruins my home theater experience. If you have the same issue then this how-to video is for you.

That piece is called the spider. And yes it is supposed to be secured/glued down all the way around. Good eye and good job fixing it
When I push on my spider. It has a grainy-ish feel and less give. That’s what I believe is making mine rattle, non of the others are like that. How do I fix this?
Dont know if you guys cares but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my gf for the last couple of weeks =)
@Lewis Oliver definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
@Lewis Oliver Yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
@Lewis Oliver yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
Thank you man I've had this 12 for years and as with any budget basshead it's had its share of wear and tear.
I just never thought it'd be that easy to find the rattle or even thought it was something repairable!
PS your test at the end made my house sound like the theatres hahaha
thank you! i think I finally found the source of the rattle on my sub. I'll have to wait til I get home but this has to be it. same noise, already inspected foam, etc. Never thought a spider would just be loose like that.
Thanks man. You saved me hundreds of dollars on my Velodyne Spl-1000 ultra. I was going nuts these last few days wondering what that rattle noise was and then you lead me to this issue. Will try and fix this myself. Cheers bro
Glad I could help. I videoed it for my own reference if it happened again. If it did not work I would have not posted the video. Ha ha. It turned out for the better. The glue I used still holds strong. I watched lots of action movies.
As I’m listening to this in my car, my shit making that sound when you put the base on. Gotta do some diagnostic myself!
Deyo Official did you find the rattle?
did u?
Great job with repairing it and adding more life to your sub. One thing though those hex screws almost gave me anxiety lol
Thank you so much, I watched several other videos however yours zeroed in on my problem and I fixed it. The sub had a tiny gasket which stretched over the years so I made one from some packing styrofoam and now it sounds great. I didn't have to reglue the spider so it made sense that all I needed to replace was the gasket. Thanks for the great advice. I'm going to give the woofer to my son now.
Glad it helped
Nice video. Seeing your wires secured in that foam gave me an idea. I think I'll do something like that with mine because I think the wires are rattling.
Great job.. I have the same prob same sound with my Polk 8 inch sub. A one beer job for my weekend. Thank you..
Just listening to this on my old sub makes me think that I have a similar problem. Will be checking mine tomorrow, thanks for this video as I'm sure it will help
Bro does it worked??
@@scavengerakshay4844 yes it does now. Ordered the replacement rubber ring and the glue on Lazada. Now it's working just like it did before.
@@ApexFlynn ok bro👍
Thank you so much. Thanks to your video, I dared to open up my subwoofer. I was pleasantly surprised to find as the culprit a little toy action figure stuck in the speaker which one of our grandchildren must have put in the port in the front! LOL Problem solved!
Found set of decent appearing, weighty JVCs in thrift charity for $13. Rattling sound on bass. Same 'port opening issue. Small toy car culprit... ;]
LMAO my subwoofer was on my lap when I was listening to the finishing touch.
Oof thank God mine on the floor in front of me. Woulda turned the kids into jelly and no swimming for days
Thanks for the video.
My 20 year old REL Q200e is making the same rattle at certain frequency whether loud or quieter.
Hopefully it is the same fix.
I have checked and the cabinet seems no leaks, cone has no tears and no scratchy noise on pushing the cone (plus never had any burning smell) so I hope it is not blown.
Bro does it works??
Excellant. Instruction. Smart. Precise. T Y
Good idea i need to check my woofer too
Hi there. Thanks for posting! I just purchased this exact sub in great condition. I hope you can help shed some light on an issue I have: At frequencies above 25-27 it plays perfectly fine, however below that it basically just "rumbles/rattles" seems like it can't "withstand" the frequencies, and just "losses" it... any thoughts? :-)
I have a sub in my car and I'm curious if it's the spider too. My left sub seems to be fine when playing music however the right moves about and seems to warp instead of move up and down when vibrating.
The left when off seems to flex all directions moreso that the right. But sounds better than the other which is weird.
Both speakers have an outer seam tear on the rubber.
Tips or tricks?
Good job.
thanks! fixed mine!
I'm having a similar problem. It happens with bass drums and sounds with really low attack times. It's like the front of the sub is touching something inside the monitor. Pressing with my hands immediately stops the rattle, so I guess I'll have to glue it.
I had the exact same issue.

Wth are you doing here
Awe man I hope this isn't my problem. I just put everything together and bolted everything down. I hate going back and fourth
Can i use the wood glue to stick a 500rms sundown subwoofer spider?
I searched further and if it is wood to wood then wood glue is great. for other mix materials, Gorrilla glue or epoxy might do a better job. Though I might say that to this day, the glue I used still stand strong. I have been using my sound system for an average of 4 hours a day - streaming music and videos that are sometimes heavy in bass.
Brown cover, brown thing is actually called.. The Spider.
You could probably use a piece of duct tape to pull out that dent in the subwoofer
Shop vac works great too!
@@brandonreeves6391 Or steam. Works on ping pong balls too :)
Got a brand new sub and it sounds like this.
Nice. Enjoy the theater-like rumbling :-)
What is the outro music you used?
It’s an alient movie starring Dwayne Johnson
Nice will check it out
That is the spider of the sub, i hope that glue holds up to high heat or it will wear off and break down again.
Use vacuum to your dust cap, it will look as new
Gregore I’m about to try that. We’ll see. Thanks for the suggestion
Get a sewing needle I sick it gently in your subwoofer cone and gently move it up and pull your cone out as. Old college trick pull out needle and stick it gently in but not in the same hole and your cone will come forward after done use nail polish to cover the holes
Bro what was this ? 😂😂
Bro does this really works????plzz replay
Yes, so far.
I would have used a specialty glue..
Wood glue works on wood products. Yes the spider is paper made by wood. But the spider landing is made of metal. So bonding metal to paper is NOT a time for wood glue. Just saying.
what type of glue would you suggest using?
@@mrsupert3562your mum's vagicheese
Pulls out wood glue lmao
You could have at least tried to pop out the dust cap
1: Never use wood glue for something like that there is no wood in a Speaker. 2: Get something like e 6000 Clean the old surface and apply e 6000 around every area that needs glue and clamp for 24 hours. Hope this helps👍
Thanks for the advice.
Don't use wood glue to re-glue the spider on a subwoofer. Use E6000, epoxy, or a rubber-reinforced CA glue.
Thanks for the advice.
Its a bad idea to clue this with PVA glue! ...superglue much better and even cheaper.
It is no wonder it came loose, playing that noise. Try playing some Drum & Bass :-)
its a movie subwoofer so this noises are normal
