Dropped Sound Bar ~15 ft, works but not as well, need help

Sony HT-S100F dropped (~15 ft) and works but it rattles like when you attach an iPhone to speaks at max volume (iPhone, not speakers), especially bass parts of sound, took off top and front, what I can see of speakers looks fine? I’m not sure about speakers, usually work on computers/consoles/controllers/panels, first speaker. Looked up info, rattling seems to be descriptor used for sound quality, or “blown”, no obvious damage, attached are images, Please help, it’s killing our ears. i’m attempting to attach images below of speakers on sound bar front and top view, contact me for other views… this thing is current all apart looking for reasons before i put it back together so i can be assured its fixed. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi @depnermb ,

Perhaps trying to isolate the problem further may help to find out what's wrong.

Does this occur when using all the input options i.e. HDMI, BT, optical, USB or only the one?

Can you connect a sound source where you can control the volume going to the left and right channels to see if it is associated with only one or both channels thereby indicating which speaker may be the problem?

You may have to open it further to disconnect the 4 speakers (2 woofers and 2 tweeters) one at a time and check if the noise stops when one is disconnected.

Just some things that I'd try, given that I can't find a service manual online which may make it easier to resolve.

I am attempting to do so however it the tweeters and the subs are connected on each side. So I can isolate left and right but not tweeters from subs.

@depnermb

At least isolating the problem to one side or the other is a start and maybe allows you to inspect the back of the speakers for any damage.

I took pictures but was unable to see any and can't see how to post anymore, however no obvious damage noted. I notice there seems to be some inductive coils and a magnet around, i'm not sure if this one is the sub or the tweeter, but could the damage be in the housing here? I don't see a clear way to disassemble this either however.

Also the rattle seems to be mainly from these larger rectangular speakers bilaterally. I attempted to find replacement speakers, only replacement parts i could find are power cables.
