Tap on each panel and make sure they are solid. Whatever sound you can make from a fist strike is what the speaker will make from excitation from the woofer. So it should be pretty dead, and if it isn't, brace it.

After years of use, some problems may present themselves. I've had loose joints in basshorns make this symptom, allowing the panels to resonate. You'd think loose joints would buzz and they usually do, but I've had 'em come apart in a way that made panels lose stiffness just enough to sound resonant.

Also, you might double check the woofer and make certain it isn't a cheap mudmotor woofer. That's half the battle right there.
