PSW-350 cone

I have a PSW-350 sub, which, in the beginning, sounded great, but after one too many "Fight Clubs", "Close Encounters", and "Phantom Menece's", the speaker cone has begun to rattle.
This is the second driver thats been installed within a year (counting the original), I've never had the power on the amp turned up more than half-way, yet I still expierence rattling, on the low end, and an occassional clip when the LFE is really rocking. I'm using a Sony DB-940 with all speakers set to large, so the bulk of the signal that the sub sees are dedicated LFE.
Also, I'm using the LFE input with a Monster inter-link.
Anyone know how to avoid this and still become lost in the sound?.....Can I replace the driver with say a high tolerance automobile woofer?.....

if it's clipping ever, i would just tone it down a notch. shouldn't hurt you on performance too much, and it will ensure not overdriving your speaker. i usually set my levels with the heaviest bass in a movie that i own. for me, it's the opening to toy story 2 - the heavy bass when the toy story logo flies on the screen. i repeat this at reference levels and set my sub accordingly. i am losing some bass on some soundtracks, but for ease and long-life of the driver this is how i ensure that i am getting the most i can out of my sub without question of damaging it. i have this level marked on my reciever, so when listening in stereo i can up the bass level on the sub a bit. marking these two settings makes it's easy (once these levels are found). also, i would just double check and tighten the screws on your driver to ensure that the driver has shaken loose of the cabinet and that is the rattling you are hearing...
