Rattling in Wetsounds XS-650

[Moki]

My boat speakers have always been solid, but this year one of my XS-650 started rattling, the other 3 sound great. Tried different sources and song with the same results. Is the speaker blown?

Sounds like it is blown. Swap it with one of the others and see if it still makes the noise.

Also, check that all the attachment screws are tight. I had one speaker start to rattle last summer, and it turned out to simply be that one screw had stripped out. Replaced with a larger diameter screw and all was good.

Yep, it's blown, tried swapping.

I have had to do that on a few of my screws as well...
