Ok, so I started noticing a "rattling" noise coming from my JBL Creature's woofer while playing some music te high volume... (heavy-bass music)

Is this normal or can the woofer be "blown"?

(one of the internal speakers of my iMac got blown, that's why I'm "scared"...)

If it doesn't produce bass or 'shutters' when a bass note hits then you may have blown it. That's the down side of turning the volume too high

No, it does produce bass - it sounds more like there's something loose inside the woofer that is vibrating...

Bass is as "deep" as before - there's only the "rattling" sound alongside
