Dropped speaker, internal structural damage now bass rattles

Just wondering if there can be anything done. I dropped the speaker so it's not under warranty. The product is also non-repairable so the manufacturer does not provide parts for it.

But I dropped the speaker on the passive radiator and it received internal structural damage (half of the inner spokes of the radiator broke). I also had to bend the inner rubber edge back into place a little.

Now the bass rattles. I think changing the passive radiator component (which is quite easy to do) would easily solve this issue, but since the manufacturer does not provide parts this option isn't available.

I did tape around where the radiator attaches with electrical tape and this does seem to help with the rattle.

Chinese manufacturers provide replacement parts. Not as good quality, but always something

Hi

Thanks for your answer. Eventually I was able to source the passive radiator from a genuine JBL Xteme donor speaker. There are plenty now. Whereas at the time of posting, being fairly new, there were none on the market. I have 3 JBL Xteme speakers now so not even an issue anymore .
