When the bass hits my subwoofer is ratteling not like the bump sound but like an annoying sound like theres somthing vibrating on it i checked it and theres nothing on it what could it be?

 

Blown subwoofer? Take the grill off and check it, there may be separation from the paper cone to the rim.

 

ok if i did blow it should i just upgrade to the jbl or should i replace the mark levinson?

 

It's up to you but understand the ML subwoofer IS a freeaired not enclosed subwoofer. I just glued it with contact cement and so far so good, there are talk of rebuilding it with kit or send out for rebuild. Personally I would keep using the ML subwoofer whether rebuild or replace.

 

So your saying i could just glue it back togther and it would work and if not how much is it for a replacement ML subwoofer?

 

If you have the sunshade..that sometimes will cause the rattle..or something on the rear deck.

I got the JL 10" fits perfect in it, only paid $80 for it, its better than the trying to fix it hassle. Easy plug in play! sounds great too!

 

I did glue it back and now it's been about 3 months and still works. If you want to get a used one then check ebay. Normally there are a couple of them for sale. You can also get one of the rebuild kit and try it, of course I did not do it that way but if mine came apart again I will try it.
I had put a 8" JL subwoofer in before but it did not sound as good as the ML so that's why I did the glueing.

 

get caulk and seal the cone, works great

 

SO the ML sub is better the the JL Sub?

 

just take it to the dealer if it is still under warranty. They replaced mine I had the same issue.

 

fixed mine with a bead of DAP Bathroom and Kitchen Adhesive sealer, just a bead around the outer edge of the cone, it takes about 30 seconds and you're done.

 

I used some black silicone (so it would be flexible)...sub sounds fine again with no problems. While I was back there (back seat out, back deck off), I ran the wire powering the stock sub through the trunk with connectors in the trunk. Now, I have a sub in a box in the trunk (sounds great) and if I ever need the room in the trunk, 10 secs to swap the connector and the stock sub is active again

 

what model JL 10" fits right in? W1?

 

Could u run both subs at the same time?
