Default Sigh... STFA... but for the lazy..

It's the dust cone on the woofer that has come loose and is buzzing.

5 Options.

1) Replace the speaker with a new bose unit
2) Replace the speaker with an aftermarket speaker
3) Buy a sub and disconnect those speakers
4) Take the speakers out and glue the dust covers.
5) Take the speakers out and remove the dust covers.

Default If you take it into the dealer and are under warranty they will replace them. I had them do it for

me only to have it start again. I just took off the dust cones and haven't had any problems with them off for over a year now.

Either it could be blown or see if it came loose and tighten the screws up and try again.

#3 option is the way to go in my opinion. Been there, done that. Much happier.
