Cheap cure on Mission speaker!
I noticed a rattling on on of the speakers, when bass turned up, it turned out to be the plastic front vibrating against the cabinet ,a cheap cure was to wedge a five pence piece in the gap, I guess I need to fill the gap with some glue , any suggestions, Mick.

Re: Cheap cure on Mission speaker!
I'm surprised that there was any kind of gap there at all. Is the "gap" equal all the way around then and is that whole black plastic baffle section loose? A black silicone sealant could be used, applied very carefully.

Re: Cheap cure on Mission speaker!
Draught sealer comes in various thicknesses and grades of softness. That's what I'd use.
