Guys I need help.....

I have a Polk RTA 15T and the problem is that on both the speakers the side panel (one side each on each speaker) is vibrating and making noise when I play at medium to high volume (see attached picture). If I hold the panel firmly with hand the vibration and noise goes away. Any suggestion on how to repair this ?

    Not the expert on this, but maybe look at pulling all the drivers and applying wood glue/liquid nails all along that entire joint as well as the others, then perhaps caulk it afterward to ensure a good seal on the wood.

    But I am betting someone has a more definitive answer than I.

    Inject wood glue with a syringe and clamp for 24 hours.

    For a tip on F1nut's reply look to the marine industry for ultra thin epoxy and syringe. West Marine has many stores in my neck of the woods and an extensive on line business. I have been working on boats for 50 years and sometimes the cross-over of products is very rewarding.
