Rattle from ML Sub?
Yes Dave I searched but all I found was stuff about the SC430. Well at first I thought that it was the speaker grill rattleing but its solid. It's like a poping sound almost like a loose peace on top of the woffer. Is this common?
Yes I do still have warranty but Id rather not deal with the dealer if there is a quick fix.

the ml sub is only 8", so it could be the mounting issuejust curious, does the rattle come constantly or only if you turn up the volume? on mine (stock pioneer), at low volume it's ok, but at high volume, the whole rear deck will rattle pretty bad

I didnt power the sub when I did my system install because it sounded like crap. The rattle is caused when I am either going over bumps in the road or when I rev the engine up and the exhaust is louder than it is at cruising speeds. This vibration causes something around the sub to rattle. I dont know if it is the cover that is inside the cabin or the sub itself or what. But I dont want to have to take the back seat to fix it.

I had the same problem with the SUB on my SC430. Unfortunately the sub was blown, more specifically, the surrounding foam had deteriorated thus making a very annoying rattle sound. You are better of disconnecting it completely...
