Default Subwoofer Rattle

Hey guys, in need of some help

My subwoofer will now rattle at any bump or rough road. Music doesn't make a difference in how much it rattles. The speaker still sounds great thus i doubt it needs replaced. Any help in diagnosis and/or fixes? Thanks

pull the cover off and apply a little nail polish or glue where it is torn and allow to dry.. if that dont work come back for more..

i was getting some rattle back there too, turned out to be the parcel shelf rattling and not the actual subwoofer. my temporary fix was to wedge some paper towel between the brake light and the window. looked stupid though so didn't leave it there. when i looked up the issue i found results saying that it was from the speaker being torn, although when i checked mine it wasn't torn at all, so make sure it is in fact the subwoofer. the subwoofer grill easily pries off, it's just held in by 4 clips at the corners
