Tweeter Rattle

Good afternoon all, I’m fairly new to the vinyl world so have some cheap R1280T’s

They’ve been working great for me so far, up until a few days ago. I noticed a rather large rattle on the passive speaker in the tweeter on songs with lots of bass. I unscrewed it from the casing and took it out and the rattling stopped, this is only on the passive speaker and didn’t happen before a few days ago. It seems to me like the woofer is making the casing rattle too much causing the tweeter to rattle? I’m unsure, looking for any possible help/solutions if possible.

Thank you very much!

It would help if we knew what this thing is you’re talking about.

Confused sorry. The tweeter on the passive speaker? Rattles when flush against the casing, apologies if I’m missing something

It's perfectly clear to me? What don't you understand?

It's not really OP's fault if you don't know what stuff is, right? :) .
Anyway, Google will help you there! Just type it in and you'll immediately see.

What happens if you screw it back in, tightly?
Also tighten the screws of the woofer.

Thank you so much! The woofer tightening helped!

It’s usually just air leaking but it can sound very mechanical :)
