It might be the speakers... but just to make sure, you should check your inputs and see that they are secure and are "neatly" connected...
However, it might be normal for the sub to rattle a bit a low bass levels due to its inability to respond to low frequencies...
But the chances are you should check the connection and if it presists, contact tech. supp. personally.. they'll help tell you what the real deal is
