[SOLVED] Peavey Headliner 410 - Rattling

Hello! I have tightened the screws around the bottom left speaker where the sound is coming from, and it seems this has not done much to repair the sound. I can't tell if the speaker is in need of replacement or if one of the support screws that mate the supporting frame to the main cab is a problem. I can upload a sound clip if that would be helpful, since what caused this was playing very heavy sub-bass from two mudbucker pickups in series over a low-b string with a fuzz pedal. The low frequency leads me to believe either a damaged speaker or a loose part are equal possibilities.

Regardless, I'll have to take off the grill to do any further inspection/repair. Does anyone know how to accomplish this on the Peavey Headliner 410? Is it simply pressure fit?

Looks like the cab corners may be holding the grill in. Take the top ones off and go easy with a flathead screwdriver to lightly pry the upper grill away from the cab and slide it up + out. Then check the screws mounting the speaker to the cab. After that, if there's still racket, try removing the offending speaker. Maybe something is just loose.

Much appreciated! I'll keep this in mind if it happens again, it seems that whatever the offending rattling was has stopped after some tightening and letting it sit for a bit.

Watch those extreme settings. Peavey's are tough but not indestructible. Noise means "help me!" If nothing else, ease up on the bass knob when jacking up the effects and volume.
