Are you sure the rattle is in the sub? Sometimes it can be nearby objects, or even something within your walls, that causes the rattle.

Yeah, it's in the sub. I actually called Axiom and they are going to send me a new speaker. The speaker is definitely the issue. When you guys rave about the service, man you aren't kidding!

Me too is sure about it beeing the sub. If I put my ear near the back of the sub I can clearly hear that it is coming from the sub.
I tried moving the sub away to anther room and its still coming from the sub.

My 500 also developed a rattle in both the driver and strangely
the amp. Axiom replaced both, GREAT folks and service!
With the amp I could actually tap the back plate lightly with my
finger and the amp would vibrate. The driver cone was separating
from the outside ring.
Bottom line is, if you have any problem/question...call Axiom.

sounds like a possible quality control issue to me.

Well I got answer from JC, and he gave some things to try out.
I took the woofer and amp out, and they both seems to be in good shape. I suspect that it might was the cable running to the woofer that was vibrating against the plastic cover inside the amp cabinet.
I tried to alter its location a bit and it helped. Its still some vibrations if you crank up the volume but its much better. I will try to find something to put in between or around the cable that can stop it from vibrating just to make sure. Im not certain though about how hot it gets in there, and dont want whatever I use to start melting.

Yeah... he's the man alright. Have you seen the extras on The Incredibles? There's a little mini movie there with Scrat called Gone Nutty. It's really funny.
Maybe I too should do some photoshopping so my Scrat is also holding a precious...
EDIT: Done
