Let me start out by saying hello, and sorry if this (probably is) a commonly asked question here, but I searched through 3 pages, and only found unrelated things.
I bought a system similar model to [SLS Q-Line Gold 650w 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater System] from the same manufacturer 4 years ago. I can't post links but it's on amazon.
For the past 2 years the sub rattles with any song that has moderate bass (all my music does). I don't know anything about audio equipment so I've come to the experts for help.
I jerry-rigged the bottom (where the speaker is) with duck tape across the cone to "hold it down". I notice that if pressure is put to the face of the subwoofer cone, the rattle is lessened with more and more pressure. There seems to be a balance of almost no rattle with less bass, or zero rattle and zero bass.
I'm looking for low cost solutions. Doesn't have to be elegant either. I tried sitting the sub box on top of a folded sheet to try to add pressure but it doesn't do the trick.. Almost seems like a need to put something super shock absorbent but acoustic too..
Sorry if this thread makes you guys face palm.. I have other forum experience and must know how this looks to veterans lol..
