Sub rattling like crazy.
Removed the cover and discovered the rubber ring is separated about 3 inches around the top as I had read about here.
I can press the rubber to the edge and the rattling stops.
My question is should I be able to hear bass from the speaker even if it rattles?
I cannot hear anything although the cone moves, etc. Is the reason I can't hear bass likely because of the separation only, or is that not likely(ie wistful thinking)?
Can someone tell me what specific type of glue or silicone or whatever I would use to repair the separation, cure time, etc?
I am afraid I will have to remove the sub to repair it as the separated place is near the front where I cannot see it from inside the vehicle.
Any other ideas or insights are much appreciated.

I just decided to pull the sub out last night.
Found that the rubbber had actually separated all around.
Went to Lowes and picked up a tube of DAP silicone adhesive.
Ran a heavy bead all around the edge and let set last night.
I'll let it cure until tomorrow then reinstall it and see if it works.
Thanks for the replys,
