Plastic sub-box (Stealthbox) Rattling? I recently got a sub, Quantum Audio 10" powered by a 700.5 kicker amp (birch cert. of 910.5)
I had a smaller memphis sub in this plastic stealthbox

and it sounded great, but wasn't quite loud enough, and after a couple months the surround separated from the cone. Audio shop exchanged it no questions as a defect, and gave me option for direct replacement (it would take a week so he'd have to order one) and I could borrow an older shelf model until it came in, or go this route, the QA sub.

This sub has a much larger magnet, and while it fits in the box well, the sub itself seems to be making its own rattle (not blown). When I push the casing around the edge hard into the box, the rattling stops.
Is this big magnet too heavy for my box and its sagging, causing the rattling sound? Maybe I can get a vid of it so you can hear it.. not sure where to host vids.
Thanks.
