Psw505 sub Noise at low frequency or high volume.

My subwoofer makes a noise similar to plywood slapping together very fast, a knocking type noise thats very loud during very low bass or when the volume is higher. I first thought blown driver, but I pressed in on it and didn't hear any noise during the travel. It's been like this for some time so my bandaid has been to turn the volume down on the effected sub. The other 505 doesn't have this problem. Purchased on 11/23/12 so I assume no warranty.
Is there anything I should check? I'm fairly novice. Thanks

First look for anything near the port that can sympathetically vibrate.
Pull the driver and inspect for separated driver components. If all is well, manually push/pull the cone through it's full excursion, inspect again. -
Thanks. Will do and report back this evening.

I believe the driver has a 5 year warranty so if that's the issue you have a few days.

Looks like the cone? Has separated from the coil? I guess i'll call support. Thanks guys -
Just realized they're closed. Hopefully they are open Monday, cutting it close on the warranty. Lol

The coil tube is still attached to the cone, but the spider has separated, and that allows lateral movement along the pole piece as well as the spider moving out of sync with the rest of the motor assembly... Noise and total failure is inevitable.

Called and have one on the way. Thanks again!
