i just got these Polk Audio RTA 11T from Facebook market place and when I play them at a louder volume the passive radiator rattles at full excursion. i took the passive radiator out and they look fine but I notice the rattling is coming from the Polk audio sw83 passive radiators on both speakers any idea what it could be I hope this is the right place to put this question

    Sometimes the spider will crack or separate from the basket, resulting in nasty sounds. I’ve had good luck repairing the spiders with Aileen’s Tacky Glue.
