Speaker / cabinet Vibration
#12

I once found a loose cabinet seam in a vintage Altec speaker which sounded like a bad driver to me and was disproved by swapping out the driver. Couldn't tell from outside and damage probably ocurred when it was shipped to me.

Anyway I patched up the seam and put reinforcement blocks on all four corners, and did the same to its mate. Fixed!
