im running 2 gnx 10s in a seal box, with seperate chambers, and one of them rattles some when i turn the bass boost on the amp up. it doesnt sound like the music is distorting any, so i dont think its busted, it just sounds like the outside of the sub is vibrating. is this a problem, will it damage the sub at all? thanks

    ah, yes, tinsel slap... good times with loose wires... if it sounds like it's that little wire inside the sub banging against the cone 50 times a second, then you're safe... annoyed, perhaps, but safe... and yeah, bass boost is dangerous unless used sparingly and intelligently; for example in order to add a couple dBs down low (30-40 Hz) to compensate for your sealed box's inherent weaknesses...
