So I've been having an issue with my driver's side sail sub for a while now. At relatively high volumes, it sounded like it was shaking/vibrating the plastic trim piece. But now I tried taking the speaker out of the mount, and found out that it still rattles by itself. Could the speaker already be blown? Passenger side sounds fine. It's a CDT HD-6MSUB 6.5" DVC sub I got from Kee Audio.

I just installed these speakers in August of last year and don't usually listen to music a extreme volumes, do speakers blow that quickly?

Stock wiring and Monsoon amp.

To be honest in all of my years of speakers and woofers it sounds like the woofer is possibly faulty. Also check your wires just to be sure because they are Dual voice coil.

Any rips or tears in the surround? I just blew my right CDT last week with about a two inch tear in the surround. I'm wondering if that was the consequence of underpowering it with the stock amp.

It is impossible to damage a speaker with an underpowered amp unless you overdrive the amp to the point of clipping. It's that distortion that would cause damage but unless you are tone-deaf, you wouldn't listen to a speaker at clipping levels of volume for very long... it sounds terrible.

Interesting. Those CDT's are supposed to be top notch. Anyone have problems blowing the bazookas?

Guess I should update this

I ended up messing with some audio settings in my HU and its gone now. All other speakers performing great.
